Egypt, Arab Republic of Internet Users

The Arab Republic of Egypt has experienced a significant expansion in internet usage over the past three decades, with the number of users rising from a negligible 0.00 in 1990 to 81.67 million in 2025. This represents an all-time high, surpassing that of peer countries such as Paraguay, which ranks slightly higher with 82.28 million internet users. Egypt's internet penetration has thus far been characterized by a steady growth curve, with the country's internet usage doubling roughly every decade. As a result, Egypt has become one of the top internet-using nations globally, ranking 111th in terms of the total number of users. However, the rapid expansion of internet usage in Egypt may also signal a growing divide between those with access to digital technologies and those without, potentially exacerbating existing social and economic inequalities. Future investment in digital infrastructure and education could alter the trajectory of this trend, potentially leading to increased digital inclusion and a more equitable distribution of internet access across the population.
