Libya’s internet users fell to 82% of population in 2024.

Higher is better. A higher share means more people can reach information, public services, schooling and paid work online, so a rising figure is good news. Libya's latest figure is 82% of population in 2024, against 82.1% of population a year earlier, a slip of 0.15 percentage points. Since 2015 the series has ranged from a low of 25% of population in January 2015 to a high of 82.1% of population in 2023. The latest reading sits at the top of that range, just under the peak.

Why it matters. With 82% of population online, most Libyan households can use digital banking, official services and online learning, and small firms can reach customers through social media and messaging. The share has risen from 25% of population in 2015 and has held close to 82% for the last two readings. Remaining gains depend on connection quality and coverage for the people still offline.
