Digital Adoption in Mauritius
73% internet use · 0.7506 e-government
This profile brings together internet use, financial inclusion and UN e-government indicators for Mauritius, with source years shown alongside each figure.
Internet and Connectivity
Internet use in Mauritius is reported at 73% for 2024. The indicator measures individuals using the internet rather than subscriptions.
For the country comparison, Mauritius 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.
This is the latest internet-use observation directly verified for this page. The reference year stays attached to the value.
That distinction matters: subscription rates can exceed 100 per 100 people because one person can hold multiple active services, whereas internet use is a population share. Missing observations are shown as unavailable.
