Ghana’s mobile subscriptions rose to 113.6 per 100 people in 2024.

Higher is better. More subscriptions generally mean wider access to calls, mobile money and online services, which is why a higher figure is better. The latest figure, for 2024, is 113.6 per 100 people, up from 98.8 per 100 people a year earlier, a rise of 15%. That 2023 reading is the lowest since 2015, so the latest year is a rebound from the bottom of the range. The highest reading since 2015 was 133.6 per 100 people in 2018, and the current figure remains below it.

Why it matters. At 113.6 per 100 people, subscriptions outnumber Ghanaians, so many households run more than one line. That gives families and small firms wide reach for calls, payments and customer contact. The 2018 level of 133.6 per 100 people shows how much further the count has gone before.
