Overview
Belize's internet users stood at 81.43% in 2025, a rise of +9.07% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 81.43% by 2025. Belize ranked 112th globally.
Belize’s share of internet users rose from virtually none in 1990 to 81.43 percent in 2025, marking an all‑time peak that places the country at 112th globally. This rapid expansion over a 29‑year span reflects sustained investment in broadband infrastructure and the proliferation of mobile connectivity, mirroring the regional trajectory of peers such as St. Kitts and Nevis, which recorded 80.93 percent in the same year. The increase outpaced many developing economies and aligns closely with Paraguay’s 82.28 percent, suggesting that small, tourism‑oriented states can achieve high digital penetration despite limited domestic markets. While the upward trend has been steady, future progress will likely depend on continued policy support for affordable data plans and the extension of fiber networks to rural areas; without such measures, the current momentum could stall, whereas targeted reforms may push Belize’s internet usage beyond the 85 percent threshold in the coming decade.
