Overview
Liberia's internet users stood at 25.88% in 2025, a rise of +2.38% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 25.88% by 2025. Liberia ranked 175th globally.
Liberia’s share of internet users has risen from zero in 1990 to 25.88 percent in 2025, marking the country’s all‑time peak and placing it 175th in the global ranking. The twenty‑seven‑year expansion reflects gradual infrastructure development and the liberalisation of telecommunications, yet the penetration rate remains modest compared with regional peers such as Madagascar (26.35 percent) and Mozambique (24.04 percent). While the growth trajectory surpasses the early‑1990s trough, the pace is slower than in Papua New Guinea, which reached 26.09 percent in the same year, suggesting that affordability, network coverage and digital literacy continue to constrain broader adoption. Continued investment in broadband expansion, especially in rural districts, and policies that lower access costs could accelerate diffusion and push Liberia beyond the mid‑twenties threshold, fostering a more pronounced upward trend in the coming years.
