EU Countries with the Highest Share of Households with a Broadband Internet Access

In 2023, Luxembourg led with 97% broadband internet access in households, followed closely by Norway at 96%, and the Netherlands at 95%. Over the last two years, these countries consistently maintained their leadership, with slight percentage increases reflecting the maturity of their broadband infrastructure. Germany and Finland both demonstrated stability, maintaining a share of around 90%. The five-year CAGR across leading EU nations indicates modest growth, underscoring near saturation in some regions.

Future trends to watch include:

• Increased investment in digital infrastructure in countries below EU averages to minimize discrepancies.
• Technological advancements like 5G and fiber optic expansions potentially boosting broadband accessibility.
• Policies from the EU Commission aimed at fostering digital inclusion throughout the region.
