Overview
Moldova's internet users stood at 94.86% in 2025, a rise of +14.64% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 94.86% by 2025. Moldova ranked 59th globally.
Moldova’s share of internet users rose from zero in 1990 to 94.86 percent in 2025, representing a 94.86‑point increase over 32 years and placing the country at 59th in the world. The all‑time peak coincides with the latest observation year, indicating that the diffusion of broadband and mobile connectivity has accelerated since the early 2000s, as infrastructure investments and liberalised telecom policies lowered access costs. Moldova’s performance now closely matches that of Romania (94.99 percent) and the United States (94.99 percent), and exceeds Botswana (94.59 percent), suggesting that its digital adoption is on par with more advanced economies despite a lower gross domestic product per capita. The rapid catch‑up reflects both public‑sector initiatives, such as the National Digital Development Strategy, and private‑sector expansion of 4G/5G networks. Continued growth will likely depend on expanding rural coverage, improving digital literacy, and sustaining investment in high‑speed infrastructure, which could push the country beyond the current 94.86 percent threshold in the coming years.
