Overview
Uzbekistan's mobile subscriptions stood at 110.01 in 2025, a rise of +3.13 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 110.01 by 2025. Uzbekistan ranked 121st globally.
Uzbekistan’s mobile‑subscription density reached 110.01 per 100 inhabitants in 2025, placing the country 121st in the world and matching its all‑time peak for the 53‑year series that began in 1960. After a prolonged trough of zero subscriptions in 1992, the market expanded rapidly as liberalisation and network roll‑out accelerated in the 2000s, culminating in a subscription level that now exceeds that of Greece (110.09) and approaches Azerbaijan’s 109.21. The steep post‑1990s rise reflects both falling handset prices and substantial investment in 4G infrastructure, while the current saturation suggests limited room for further growth through traditional voice and data plans. Nonetheless, the diffusion of 5G services, the proliferation of Internet‑of‑Things devices, and the adoption of mobile financial applications could generate modest incremental increases, keeping the trajectory upward albeit at a slower pace.
