Overview
Mexico's internet users stood at 87.41% in 2025, a rise of +6.23% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 87.41% by 2025. Mexico ranked 95th globally.
Mexico’s share of internet users rose from a recorded zero percent in 1990 to 87.41 percent in 2025, marking the highest level observed over the 35‑year span and placing the country 95th worldwide. The rapid expansion reflects widespread mobile broadband rollout and government initiatives to improve digital inclusion, especially after 2010 when subscription rates began to double every three years. By 2025 Mexico’s penetration is marginally below the Slovak Republic’s 88.42 percent and virtually equal to Israel’s 87.35 percent, while edging ahead of Peru’s 87.03 percent, underscoring its competitive position among middle‑income economies. The steep climb from the all‑time trough to the all‑time peak illustrates a structural shift toward a more connected populace, yet the remaining gap to the global top performers suggests further gains are possible. Continued investment in fiber infrastructure and affordable data plans is likely to sustain the upward trajectory, potentially pushing Mexico into the top‑ninety bracket within the next decade.
