According to a We Are Social report, the number of internet users in Indonesia reached 213 million as of January 2023. This figure represents 77% of Indonesia's total population of 276.4 million at the beginning of the year.
The number of internet users in Indonesia increased by 5.44% year-on-year (YoY). In January 2022, the number of internet users in Indonesia was only 202 million.
The trend shows a continuous increase in the number of internet users in Indonesia every year over the past decade. The number of domestic internet users increased by 142.5 million from January 2013, when it stood at only 70.5 million.
The highest growth in the number of internet users over the past decade occurred in January 2016, reaching 50.16% YoY. The slowest growth was in January 2022, at only 0.5% YoY.
The report also found that the average Indonesian uses the internet for 7 hours and 42 minutes a day. On the other hand, the report notes that the majority, or 98.3%, of Indonesian internet users use mobile phones.
Nevertheless, Indonesia is one of the countries with a large population that remains unconnected to the internet. We Are Social reported that 63.51 million people across the country were not connected to the internet at the beginning of 2023.
This number is the eighth largest globally. India holds the first position with 730.02 million unconnected people.
