Vietnam's internet penetration has reached 77% in 2026, reflecting rapid growth but still highlighting significant gaps between urban and rural areas. Urban centers enjoy near-universal access, whereas rural regions lag behind, with only 62% internet usage. The government’s ongoing investments in infrastructure aim to bridge this divide, but challenges remain in ensuring equitable digital access across all provinces.
The average mobile data consumption has increased to 12 GB per month per user, indicating high engagement with digital services. Meanwhile, the digital literacy rate of 68% suggests substantial progress in digital education, yet over a third of the population still needs digital skills training. Addressing these disparities is crucial for Vietnam’s continued economic and technological development.
