Data notes & caveats

The indicator counts mobile subscriptions rather than unique subscribers, so values can exceed 100 per 100 people. The nine rows form a selected peer set and must not be presented as a complete world ranking.

Methodology

Nine World Bank WDI economy rows are ordered from highest to lowest by mobile-cellular subscriptions per 100 people in 2024. Aggregate rows are excluded, Hong Kong SAR and Macao SAR remain as reporting economies, and no share denominator is applied.

Source consistency notes

All nine rows use the same World Bank WDI mobile-subscription series, the 2024 period and subscriptions per 100 people.
