Mohammedia – By the end of 2025, Morocco had become one of Africa’s most connected countries, with internet use spreading to almost every corner of daily life.
According to DataReportal’s Digital 2026: Morocco report, more than 92% of the population—or about 35.5 million people—were online, marking a significant step toward full digital inclusion.
The number of mobile connections reached 57.1 million, exceeding the country’s population by nearly half. That figure reflects how common it has become for people to use multiple SIM cards—one for work, another for personal use, and sometimes a separate line for data.
In just one year, Morocco added nearly 900,000 new connections, a sign of how fast the digital landscape continues to expand.
While not every mobile user is necessarily online, some subscriptions still cover only calls and texts; almost 88% of these connections are broadband, meaning they’re capable of 3G, 4G, or 5G speeds.
Internet access itself has also become faster: the average mobile download speed hit 60 Mbps, up nearly 50% from the year before.
Social media leads the way
The digital story doesn’t stop at connection—it lives on social platforms. Morocco counted 22.8 million social media identities in late 2025, equal to nearly six in ten people.
Facebook remains dominant with roughly 22.8 million users, but TikTok and Instagram are catching up fast.
TikTok reached 16.7 million adults, growing by 19% in a single year, while Instagram’s audience jumped by 20% to 15.1 million.
YouTube also continued to thrive, attracting 21.6 million Moroccan viewers, or more than half the population.
Even professional networking grew quickly—LinkedIn gained 1.2 million new members over the year, hitting 6.9 million total. Snapchat, meanwhile, saw a 10% boost, with 7.6 million users, mostly young and predominantly female.
Still, gender gaps persist. Men make up a majority on most platforms, especially X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn, while Snapchat remains one of the few spaces where women form the majority of users.
These numbers tell more than a story of connectivity; they signal a social shift. Morocco’s median age is 29.8, meaning digital life is being driven by a young, urban population that grew up online.
Whether it’s news, entertainment, or business, the web has become the country’s main public square.
With only 7.8% of Moroccans still offline, the next challenge isn’t access, it’s inclusion. The question now is how to make sure the country’s booming digital ecosystem benefits everyone, from city centers to rural areas, and from creators to everyday users scrolling through their feeds.
