Overview
Myanmar's internet users stood at 73.63% in 2025, a rise of +15.10% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 73.63% by 2025. Myanmar ranked 128th globally.
Myanmar’s share of internet users rose from zero in 1990 to 73.63 percent in 2025, marking the highest level recorded over the 26‑year coverage period and placing the country 128th globally. The rapid expansion reflects the combined impact of mobile broadband rollout, liberalisation of the telecommunications sector and growing affordability of smartphones, trends that have been mirrored in peer nations such as São Tomé and Principe (73.81 percent) and St. Lucia (72.85 percent). While the surge has narrowed the digital divide relative to regional peers, Myanmar still lags behind Tunisia’s 74.62 percent and Namibia’s 71.69 percent, indicating scope for further penetration. Continued investment in network infrastructure, coupled with policy reforms that enhance competition and digital literacy, will be crucial to sustain the upward trajectory and push the internet‑user share beyond the current peak.
