Liechtenstein Internet Users

Liechtenstein’s share of internet users rose from virtually none in 1990, when the World Bank recorded a 0.00 percent penetration, to an all‑time high of 99.57 percent in 2025, placing the principality at the 25th position globally. This rapid diffusion mirrors the broader digital expansion across advanced economies, and the figure is identical to that of Switzerland, a peer with a comparable rank, while slightly exceeding Ghana’s 99.53 percent and falling just short of Australia’s 99.58 percent. The 25‑year coverage period shows a seamless transition from zero connectivity to near‑universal access, reflecting sustained investment in broadband infrastructure, liberal regulatory policies, and high household income levels that facilitate technology adoption. The convergence with other high‑ranking nations suggests that Liechtenstein has effectively closed the digital divide that characterised the early 1990s. Maintaining this trajectory will likely depend on continued upgrades to ultra‑high‑speed networks and policies that promote digital inclusion for any remaining underserved groups.
