Greenland Mobile Subscriptions

Greenland’s mobile‑subscription rate has risen from an all‑time trough of 0.00 in 1991 to an all‑time peak of 128.51 per 100 inhabitants in 2025, placing the territory at rank 69 globally and marking a 51‑year coverage period. The surge reflects rapid diffusion of cellular technology after the early 1990s, when the market was essentially nonexistent, and a later expansion of broadband infrastructure that enabled widespread handset adoption. By 2025 Greenland’s figure of 128.51 is marginally below Denmark’s 128.31, illustrating that the autonomous region has almost matched the penetration level of its sovereign state despite a much smaller population and harsher geography. The growth trajectory suggests that further improvements in network reliability and the rollout of 5G services could push the subscription rate beyond the current ceiling, especially as tourism and remote‑work initiatives increase demand for ubiquitous connectivity.
