Czech Republic boasts a high internet penetration rate, with 9.6 million users accounting for 91% of the population in 2023. This number is expected to hold steady at 9.7 million by 2028, representing an online penetration rate of 92.4%. While internet user numbers are relatively stable, there has been a slight shift in demographics. The population itself is expected to grow by a mere 0.1%, which means a small decline in new internet users is being offset by an aging population entering internet-using age groups.
Mobile phones are the dominant device for internet access, with a high chance this trend will continue. Fixed and mobile internet connection speeds are also on the rise, with both exceeding 60 Mbps in early 2024. This suggests a strong infrastructure that can support the growing online needs of Czechs.
Social media use shows a slightly different picture. There were 8.05 million social media users in early 2024, representing 76.7% of the population. This figure is expected to decrease slightly to 82.7% by 2028. It's important to note that these numbers might be due to adjustments in how social media users are counted rather than a decline in actual user engagement.
Finally, Czechs are avid internet users, averaging 6 hours and 14 minutes daily in 2023. This substantial amount of time spent online highlights the deep integration of the internet into everyday life for Czechs.
