Overview
Greece's mobile subscriptions stood at 110.09 in 2025, a decline of +0.70 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 110.09 by 2025. Greece ranked 120th globally.
Greece’s mobile‑phone subscription rate has risen from zero in 1960 to 110.09 per 100 inhabitants in 2025, placing the country at rank 120 worldwide. The rapid expansion culminated in an all‑time peak of 124.58 in 2008, after which subscriptions fell back to the current level despite continued network upgrades and the rollout of 5G services. The 1992 trough, recorded as 0.00, reflects the absence of commercial mobile services rather than a decline from an existing base. Greece’s performance is comparable to Uzbekistan’s 110.01 and slightly below Guatemala’s 111.22, illustrating that its market saturation is similar to other mid‑rank economies with comparable population sizes. With broadband penetration increasing and regulatory reforms encouraging competition, the subscription rate is likely to edge closer to the 2008 peak, provided that price incentives and device affordability continue to improve.
