Overview
Mongolia's internet users stood at 105.49% in 2025, a rise of +22.48% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 105.49% by 2025. Mongolia ranked 5th globally.
Mongolia’s internet penetration has risen from a recorded zero percent in 1990 to 105.49 percent in 2025, the highest figure in its 27‑year series and the fifth‑largest share globally, according to World Bank data. This dramatic ascent reflects the country’s rapid rollout of broadband infrastructure and the proliferation of mobile networks, particularly after the mid‑2010s when policy reforms lowered entry barriers for private operators. By contrast, neighboring Philippines recorded 105.71 percent and Kiribati 105.11 percent in the same year, underscoring a regional convergence toward universal connectivity. The all‑time trough of 0.00 percent in 1990 marks a baseline from which Mongolia has outpaced many peers, while the 2025 peak suggests that the market is approaching saturation, with marginal gains likely to come from expanding access in remote nomadic communities and upgrading from basic to high‑speed services. Continued investment in satellite and 5G technologies will be pivotal to sustaining growth and narrowing the remaining digital divide.
