The forecast data for Berlin indicates a significant decline in the number of individuals who have never accessed the internet. Starting from 2.55 persons in 2024, the figure is projected to decrease sharply to 0.33 persons by 2028. This represents a nearly 87% reduction over the five-year period, demonstrating a significant rate of connectivity adoption among previously offline populations.
Year-on-year variations reveal a consistent downward trend, highlighting advancements in digital infrastructure and accessibility efforts. With a five-year compound annual growth rate reflecting an average decrease per year, future attention should focus on:
- Continued infrastructure investment to eliminate remaining digital gaps.
- Educational programs to enhance digital literacy, particularly for late adopters.
- Efforts that address socio-economic barriers to internet access.
