Overview
Cuba's internet users stood at 70.75% in 2025, a decline of +0.53% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 70.75% by 2025. Cuba ranked 132nd globally.
Cuba’s share of the population using the internet rose from zero in 1990 to 70.75 percent in 2025, placing the island at rank 132 globally and just below Senegal’s 70.90 percent and above India’s 70.00 percent. After a prolonged period of near‑zero connectivity in the early 1990s, the sector expanded rapidly in the 2000s, reaching an all‑time peak of 71.28 percent in 2023 before a modest dip to the current level. The 31‑year coverage span reflects a structural shift from state‑controlled telecommunication infrastructure toward broader private‑sector participation and liberalised policy reforms that began in the mid‑2000s. Despite the recent slowdown, the trajectory remains upward, and further reductions in regulatory barriers, coupled with investment in broadband capacity, could sustain growth and potentially lift Cuba into the top‑one‑hundred internet‑user economies within the next few years.
