About This Dataset

Countries with the Highest Share of Internet Users 2022

Countries ranked by internet users (% of population) in 2022, using World Bank figures for the 182 countries that reported that year. 3 countries share the top place on 100.0, among them Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, ahead of Kuwait (99.7). The share of people who used the internet from any location in the last three months, collected by national household surveys. Countries survey in different years and word the question differently, so small gaps between neighbours are not meaningful.

Analysis

3 of the twenty shown are level at the top on 100.0: Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates. The first country below them is Kuwait on 99.7. Across the twenty shown, values run from 100.0 down to 95.5, a spread of 4.5. Of the 20 in this table that also reported in 2021, 6 recorded a higher figure than the year before and 9 a lower one.
