What is the internet access rate in Vietnam?

Vietnam’s Digital Landscape: Steady Growth in Internet Access

Vietnam’s digital landscape continues to flourish, with internet access reaching a significant milestone in early 2024. The penetration rate now stands at 79.1% of the population, a modest but noteworthy increase of roughly half a million users compared to the previous year. This steady upward trend underscores the ongoing expansion of online connectivity across the nation.

While the figure of 79.1% represents a substantial portion of the Vietnamese population, there are undoubtedly pockets of the country where digital access remains a challenge. Future efforts to bridge the digital divide will be crucial to ensuring that the benefits of internet connectivity are accessible to everyone.

The half-million user increase, while seemingly small in comparison to the overall population, reflects a sustained commitment to digital infrastructure development. It’s a testament to the government’s ongoing policies supporting digital advancements and the private sector’s investment in expanding internet services throughout the country. Continued investment in infrastructure, alongside initiatives focusing on digital literacy and affordability, will be key to further unlocking the potential of Vietnam’s burgeoning digital economy.
