As of 2023, 93.76% of Canadians were using the Internet. Forecasted data shows a gradual increase from 2024, beginning at 94.01%, and reaching 94.83% by 2028. This suggests a steady year-on-year growth with an overall Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) that remains modest. The consistent upward trend indicates robust internet adoption in Canada.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential saturation as the growth rate approaches its peak, with a significant portion of the population already online.
- Increased focus on infrastructure improvements and access equality across diverse and remote areas.
- Emerging technologies like 5G and their impact on enhancing user experience and fostering more widespread use of Internet services.
