Overview
Lebanon's internet users stood at 84.40% in 2025, a rise of +0.91% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 84.40% by 2025. Lebanon ranked 104th globally.
Lebanon’s share of internet users rose from virtually none in 1990, when the World Bank records a trough of 0.00 percent, to an all‑time peak of 84.40 percent in 2025, placing the country 104th globally. Over the 31‑year coverage period, the expansion reflects a rapid diffusion of broadband infrastructure and mobile connectivity, paralleling the trajectory of Iran, Islamic Republic of, which recorded 84.20 percent in the same year, and trailing slightly behind Brazil’s 85.15 percent. The steep climb suggests that policy measures aimed at expanding fiber‑optic networks and reducing service costs have been effective, while persistent macro‑economic challenges have limited a faster catch‑up with higher‑ranking peers such as Croatia at 85.49 percent. As Lebanon continues to liberalise its telecom sector and invest in digital literacy, the upward trend is likely to persist, although any major fiscal instability could dampen further gains in user penetration.
