Internet usage in Mexico - statistics & facts
Despite the caliber of its online market, Mexico experiences contradictions rather common to the rest of Latin America & the Caribbean. Ranking only behind Brazil, the country is the region’s second-largest internet market and the world’s eighth largest online audience. But even with the growth of the Mexican telecommunications industry and the increase in mobile connectivity across the continent, internet penetration and connectivity in Mexico still run behind those of a dozen other Latin American nations due to uneven access distribution and social problems. Nevertheless, Mexicans display incredible levels of engagement, overcoming online obstacles and contributing to the prosperity of sectors like social media and e-commerce, making the country one of the world’s most appealing and affluent markets.
