Internet penetration in Indonesia has grown rapidly over the last 10 years. This is evident in the steadily increasing proportion of the population accessing the internet.

According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), in 2013, the percentage of Indonesian residents aged 5 and over who had ever accessed the internet was only 14.94%.

In subsequent years, this proportion continued to increase, reaching 66.48% in 2022. Cumulatively, the growth in proportion reached approximately four times in a decade.

Despite this rapid growth, internet penetration in Indonesia is not yet evenly distributed. In 2022, the internet access rate in DKI Jakarta reached 84.65%, while in Papua it was only 26.32%.

Below are the 10 provinces with the highest proportion of residents aged 5 and over who had ever accessed the internet in 2022:

1. DKI Jakarta: 84.65%
2. Riau Islands: 82.40%
3. East Kalimantan: 80.56%
4. North Kalimantan: 77.43%
5. Yogyakarta Special Region: 75.38%
6. West Java: 71.12%
7. Banten: 70.73%
8. Bali: 70.59%
9. South Kalimantan: 70.26%
10. Riau: 68.85%

Below are the 10 provinces with the lowest proportion of residents aged 5 and over who had ever accessed the internet in 2022:

1. Papua: 26.32%
2. East Nusa Tenggara: 47.39%
3. North Maluku: 50.20%
4. Aceh: 52.99%
5. Central Sulawesi: 54.49%
6. Maluku: 55.22%
7. West Sulawesi: 55.38%
8. West Papua: 58.27%
9. West Nusa Tenggara: 59.39%
10. Gorontalo: 60.31%

Besides spatial disparity, internet penetration in Indonesia is also still uneven in terms of gender.

In 2022, male residents aged 5 and over who had ever accessed the internet reached 69.39%, while females were fewer, at 63.53%.
