Overview
Serbia's mobile subscriptions stood at 134.10 in 2025, a rise of +5.63 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 134.10 by 2025. Serbia ranked 54th globally.
Serbia's mobile subscription penetration has demonstrated significant growth since 2004, when the indicator first began to be tracked. Following a low of 51.17 subscribers per 100 people that year, the number of mobile subscriptions in Serbia steadily increased, peaking at 141.04 in 2011. The subsequent decline and current stagnation, with a 2025 value of 134.10 subscribers per 100 people, may be attributed to competition from other digital communication platforms. In comparison, countries such as Slovenia, which ranked 55th globally with 133.17 subscribers per 100 people in 2025, experienced a similar trend, albeit with a more gradual decline. The stagnation of mobile subscriptions in Serbia may be alleviated by advancements in 5G technology, which could potentially boost demand for mobile services and drive the indicator upwards, thereby changing the current trajectory.
