Overview
Belarus's mobile subscriptions stood at 132.42 in 2025, a rise of +3.44 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 132.42 by 2025. Belarus ranked 58th globally.
Belarus’ mobile‑subscription density reached 132.42 per 100 inhabitants in 2025, placing the country 58th in the world and representing the highest level recorded since the series began in 1960. The metric rose from a zero baseline in the early 1990s, with the all‑time trough recorded in 1992, and has climbed steadily over the subsequent three decades, reflecting rapid diffusion of smartphones and the liberalisation of the telecommunications sector after the post‑Soviet transition. Belarus now sits alongside peers such as Benin (132.62) and Spain (132.19), whose subscription rates are comparably high, while Slovenia leads the group at 133.17. The 53‑year coverage span shows a consistent upward trajectory, driven by expanding network infrastructure and competitive pricing. Continued investment in 5G rollout and the removal of regulatory barriers could sustain this growth, although market saturation may eventually temper the pace of increase.
