Overview
Kosovo's mobile subscriptions stood at 35.21 in 2025, a rise of +0.67 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 35.21 by 2025. Kosovo ranked 202nd globally.
Kosovo’s mobile‑subscription density rose steadily from 30.91 in 2005 to an all‑time peak of 35.21 in 2025, placing the country at rank 202 globally in the latest World Bank series. The eight‑year coverage window shows a modest but consistent expansion of roughly 0.14 subscription points per year, outpacing the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s 31.01 and approaching the levels of Macao SAR, China (35.31) and Papua New Guinea (35.06). While the upward trajectory mirrors regional patterns of increased handset affordability and network rollout, the modest absolute gain suggests that market saturation may be approaching, especially as the gap with higher‑ranking peers such as Mozambique (41.61) remains sizable. Continued investment in 5G infrastructure, competitive pricing, and broader rural coverage could sustain growth, but without such drivers the subscription rate is likely to plateau near the current peak.
