Digital Divide Statistics in Bolivia (2026)

Despite improvements, Bolivia's digital divide remains significant, with urban areas enjoying higher internet penetration at 70%, compared to only 30% in rural regions. Efforts to expand infrastructure in remote areas have increased access, but disparities persist, impacting education and economic opportunities for rural communities. The average monthly internet cost remains affordable, yet affordability continues to be a barrier for lower-income households.

Mobile internet usage continues to grow rapidly, with 8 million subscribers, reflecting Bolivia's increasing reliance on smartphones for connectivity. Government initiatives aimed at expanding digital infrastructure and affordability are crucial for bridging the divide. Addressing these disparities is essential for Bolivia's digital transformation and ensuring equitable access for all citizens.
