A growing number of Internet UsersThis is a featured page

In this section:
  • Internet Penetration figures
  • The Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Saudi Arabia
So far, a relatively modest number of people in Saudi Arabia use the internet. Statistics show that there have been 4,700,000 Internet users as of August 07, a total of 19.5% of the population. This has been a steady increase from 200,000 users in 2000. Users of the internet have almost doubled over the past three years and we expect the trend to carry on.

Going by these statistics, we feel that the internet users in Saudi Arabia are small at the moment but it has been growing at a rapid pace. This means that businesses in Saudi Arabia should definitely be keeping a keen interest in Saudi Arabia's Social Media scene and looking for ways to take advantage of it.
