ITU data shows internet use varies widely across CARICOM, from over 90% to under 50%<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Internet use across CARICOM ranges from 92.5% of the population in The Bahamas to 47.9% in Haiti, according to 2024 estimates from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The indicator captures anyone who used the internet from any location, on any device, at least once in the past three months – a relatively low threshold. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The global average stands at 73.6%.<\/p>

Most member states cluster between 68% and 83%, but the distribution holds some surprises. Guyana (83.0%) and Belize (80.0%), both upper-middle-income economies, record higher usage rates than Barbados (70.4%) and Antigua and Barbuda (72.7%), both classified as high-income by the World Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors such as data affordability, infrastructure reach, age demographics and market competition all shape how access translates into regular use across the region.<\/p>
