Digital Adoption in Denmark
100.0% internet use · 0.9847 e-government
This profile brings together internet use, financial inclusion and UN e-government indicators for Denmark, with source years shown alongside each figure.
Internet and Connectivity
Internet use in Denmark is reported at 100.0% for 2024. The indicator measures individuals using the internet rather than subscriptions.
In this profile, Denmark is compared only where the same indicator definition is available for the country, its region and the world. The source year is shown with each figure. For interpretation, treat missing observations explicitly instead of assuming every dataset covers the same period.
Denmark records 127 mobile subscriptions per 100 people in 2024 in the cited series. Subscriptions count active lines rather than unique residents, so a rate above 100 is possible.
The fixed-broadband figure for Denmark is kept as a subscription rate rather than a household-access percentage. The two measures use different denominators. Missing observations are not estimated.

For interpretation, separate survey measures from network counts before drawing a cross-country conclusion.
Data note: When comparing Denmark with regional or global figures, use the year printed beside each value because collection periods can differ.
