Côte d’Ivoire’s internet users rose to 41.4% of population in 2024.

Higher is better. A higher share is better because more people can reach online services, information and markets. The latest figure is 41.4% of population in 2024, up from 40.7% a year earlier, a gain of 0.78 percentage points. Since 2015 the lowest reading was 36% of population in 2021 and the highest was 43.8% of population in 2017. The current level therefore sits well above the 2021 low and still below the 2017 peak.

Why it matters. With 41.4% of population online, firms selling or advertising digitally reach fewer than half of Ivorian consumers. The state faces the same limit when it moves services such as forms, payments or information onto the web. For households, most of the remainder of the population depends on offline channels for banking, schooling information and public services. The next annual reading will show whether growth continues towards the 2017 level of 43.8% of population.
