Indonesia's internet user base has experienced a significant expansion over the past three decades, with the number of users reaching 78.42 million in 2025. Compared to its peers, Indonesia ranks among the lower end, with Gabon boasting a slightly higher internet penetration rate of 79.58 million users. The country has made substantial progress since its inception in 1990, when the internet user base was virtually non-existent. Indonesia's internet user base has been steadily increasing, reaching its all-time peak in 2025. However, the country still lags behind its peers in terms of digital connectivity. To sustain its growth momentum, Indonesia will need to invest in expanding its digital infrastructure, particularly in rural areas, to bridge the existing digital divide. If Indonesia successfully addresses these challenges, it is expected that the country's internet user base will continue to grow, driving economic development and improving the quality of life for its citizens.
