From 2024 to 2028, there's a forecasted decline in the number of individuals who have never accessed the internet in South West England. Starting from 0.78% in 2024, this figure is expected to drop to 0.34% by 2028, indicating a strong downward trajectory. This reflects a significant annual decrease, with a notable acceleration from 2026 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increased internet accessibility initiatives and technology penetration may further reduce non-access rates.
Demographic shifts, such as aging populations becoming more digitally literate, may further decrease the number of individuals who have never used the internet.
Monitoring policies aimed at digital inclusivity could impact these trends substantially.
