Oman’s share of the population using the internet rose from zero in 1990 to an all‑time peak of 95.26 percent in 2025, placing the Sultanate 56th globally and narrowly behind peers such as Morocco (95.27 percent) and Singapore (95.34 percent). The early years saw a prolonged trough, with the lowest recorded level of 0.00 percent in 1996, reflecting the limited telecommunications infrastructure of the 1990s. Accelerated investment in fiber‑optic networks, liberalisation of the telecom sector and widespread adoption of smartphones contributed to a rapid climb over the subsequent three decades, compressing the coverage gap to less than five percentage points by the mid‑2020s. While Oman now approaches universal connectivity, sustaining the upward trajectory will depend on expanding broadband quality in rural areas, enhancing digital literacy and maintaining affordable pricing to avoid a plateau as the market reaches saturation.
