Overview
Cambodia's mobile subscriptions stood at 109.10 in 2025, a decline of +11.71 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 109.10 by 2025. Cambodia ranked 124th globally.
Cambodia’s mobile‑subscription density reached 109.10 per 100 inhabitants in 2025, ranking 124th worldwide, and reflects a rapid expansion from a zero base in 1960. The market’s all‑time peak of 133.58 subscriptions per 100 people occurred in 2013, after which growth slowed but remained above the 1992 trough of 0.00. Over the 53‑year coverage period, the trajectory mirrors that of other small‑state peers such as Fiji (109.18) and Tuvalu (108.97), which have similarly achieved penetration rates just above the 100‑percent threshold. The sustained high penetration suggests that most Cambodians now own at least one mobile device, yet the modest decline from the 2013 peak indicates market saturation and limited room for new subscriber growth without broader adoption of multiple‑SIM usage or expansion of broadband services. Future increases in subscription density will likely depend on the rollout of 5G networks and the integration of mobile broadband into rural economies.
