Overview
Djibouti's internet users stood at 68.19% in 2025, a rise of +3.17% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 68.19% by 2025. Djibouti ranked 137th globally.
Djibouti’s share of internet users rose from zero in 1990 to 68.19 percent in 2025, marking the country’s all‑time peak and placing it 137th globally. The 31‑year expansion reflects substantial investment in telecommunications infrastructure, including the 2018 rollout of fiber‑optic links that linked the nation to regional undersea cables. Compared with peers of similar rank, Djibouti trails Nepal’s 69.39 percent and leads Equatorial Guinea’s 67.24 percent, suggesting that while progress is robust, further closing of the digital divide remains possible. The rapid uptake coincides with broader East African trends of mobile broadband growth, yet the modest per‑capita income and limited rural electrification constrain universal access. Continued diversification of the economy and targeted subsidies for broadband in underserved areas could sustain the upward trajectory, potentially pushing Djibouti’s internet penetration above 70 percent within the next five years.
