Overview
Fiji's mobile subscriptions stood at 109.18 in 2025, a decline of +2.57 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 109.18 by 2025. Fiji ranked 123rd globally.
Fiji’s mobile‑subscription density reached 109.18 per 100 inhabitants in 2025, ranking it 123rd worldwide, and it has risen steadily since the first recorded subscription in 1960. The market peaked at 113.66 in 2016, after a rapid expansion phase that began in the early 2000s, while the all‑time trough of zero subscriptions persisted until the early 1990s. Over the 52‑year coverage period, Fiji’s penetration has paralleled that of peer nations such as Azerbaijan (109.21) and Cambodia (109.10), reflecting similar saturation levels in small‑to‑medium island economies. The modest decline from the 2016 peak suggests that the sector is approaching a saturation ceiling, with further growth likely to depend on the rollout of advanced 5G services and the expansion of affordable data plans. Continued investment in network infrastructure and regulatory reforms could sustain modest increases, but without such measures the trajectory may flatten in the coming years.
