Lithuania’s mobile‑subscription density reached 139.59 per 100 inhabitants in 2025, placing it 46th worldwide and marginally below Tunisia’s 139.79 and Chile’s 140.08. The market expanded rapidly after the post‑Soviet trough of 0.00 in 1991, climbing to an all‑time peak of 167.23 in 2012 as liberalisation and the rollout of 3G/4G networks accelerated adoption. Over the 53‑year coverage period, the growth curve has flattened since the early 2010s, with the 2025 figure representing a modest decline from the peak yet still far above the global average. The slowdown reflects market saturation, high penetration of smartphones, and the migration of users to bundled data plans that count fewer distinct subscriptions. Continued rollout of 5G services and the emergence of Internet‑of‑Things devices could modestly lift the subscription count, but without significant demographic or policy shifts the trajectory is likely to remain near the current high‑level plateau.
