Overview
Algeria's mobile subscriptions stood at 113.65 in 2025, a rise of +2.04 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 113.65 by 2025. Algeria ranked 110th globally.
Algeria’s mobile‑subscription rate has risen from zero in 1960 to 113.64 per 100 inhabitants in 2025, placing the country at rank 110 globally. The rapid expansion culminated in an all‑time peak of 115.15 in 2016, after which the figure has slightly receded but remains well above the 1989 trough of 0.00. Over the 53‑year coverage period, Algeria’s penetration now closely mirrors that of peer nations such as Norway (113.79) and Tanzania (113.26), indicating convergence with both advanced and emerging markets. The modest decline from the 2016 high suggests a plateau as the market approaches saturation, yet continued demographic growth and network upgrades could sustain incremental gains. Future trajectories will likely depend on the rollout of 5G services and regulatory policies that encourage competition, which could either lift the subscription rate above the current level or stabilize it near the present figure.
