In 2020, 91 percent of households across the EU-27 had access to the internet. The increase of one percent in comparison to the previous year continued the trend of improved household access that can be observed across the European Union. Countries like Germany and Belgium continued to expand their already high shares by small increments, while other European countries with initially smaller shares like Poland and Latvia made more headway in their improvements. Some countries like the Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway, however, saw a decrease of overall access to the internet in 2020. All countries that saw such a decline still ranked among the nations with the highest overall percentage of households with access to the internet.
