Overview
Jamaica's internet users stood at 97.63% in 2025, a rise of +8.16% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 97.63% by 2025. Jamaica ranked 37th globally.
Jamaica's internet user population has experienced significant growth since its inception in 1990, with a current count of 97.63 users per 100 people, ranking 37th globally. This rapid expansion is evident in the country's all-time peak, also achieved in 2025, and starkly contrasts with the lack of internet users in 1990, when the figure was zero. A comparison with peer countries such as Andorra, which boasts a higher internet penetration rate of 97.84 users per 100 people, highlights Jamaica's relative position within the global digital landscape. The steady increase in internet users over the past three decades underscores Jamaica's increasing integration into the digital economy. However, Jamaica's trajectory may be impacted by the increasing accessibility and affordability of mobile internet services in the region, which could potentially disrupt the current growth trend and lead to a further expansion of internet penetration.
