Overview
Mozambique's internet users stood at 24.04% in 2025, a rise of +4.20% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 24.04% by 2025. Mozambique ranked 177th globally.
Mozambique’s share of the population using the internet has risen from zero in 1990 to 24.04 percent in 2025, placing the country 177th in the world and marking its all‑time peak at the most recent measurement. This three‑decade expansion reflects gradual infrastructure development and mobile broadband diffusion, yet the level remains modest compared with regional peers such as Eritrea (25.32 percent) and Sierra Leone (23.05 percent). The initial trough of 0.00 percent in 1990 underscores the absence of any substantive digital connectivity at the start of the reform era, while the steady climb to the 2025 peak indicates that policy initiatives and private investment have begun to narrow the digital divide. Continued upgrades to fiber networks, broader 4G/5G rollout and targeted affordability programmes could accelerate adoption, potentially lifting Mozambique’s internet penetration above the mid‑twenties and improving its global ranking in the coming years.
