As of 2024, the forecast indicates that nearly all individuals in South East England, 99.7% of those who used the Internet within the last 3 months, are expected to access the Internet at least once a week, marking a consistent trend of near-universal access since 2023.

Projected figures reveal a steady year-on-year increase: 0.05% in 2025, another 0.04% in 2026, and a slightly smaller increment of 0.03% annually through 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 suggests minimal growth due to market saturation.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential saturation effects leading to marginal increases or static growth rates.
Shifts in demand for higher Internet speeds and improved infrastructure.
The impact of emerging technologies, like 5G, on Internet accessibility and usage.
