Overview
Guatemala's internet users stood at 63.32% in 2025, a rise of +7.27% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 63.32% by 2025. Guatemala ranked 144th globally.
Guatemala’s share of internet users rose from zero in 1990 to 63.32 percent in 2025, placing the country 144th in the world and marking an all‑time peak that mirrors the rapid digital expansion across Latin America during the past three decades. The 31‑year coverage period reflects a steady climb rather than abrupt spikes, suggesting that infrastructure investment, mobile broadband rollout and declining device costs have gradually broadened access. Compared with peer nations of similar ranking, Guatemala trails Samoa’s 65.18 percent and Tonga’s 65.68 percent while outpacing Sri Lanka’s 62.63 percent, indicating that its penetration is modestly competitive within this group. The sustained upward trajectory is likely to continue as the government pursues universal service policies and private sector initiatives target rural connectivity; however, achieving higher adoption will depend on expanding affordable high‑speed networks and addressing digital literacy gaps.
