Smartphones in Spain - statistics & facts
From calling a friend in Madrid or recording a video of a Flamenco dance in Sevilla, smartphones play an increasingly significant role in the life of Spanish consumers. The number of smartphone users in the South European country is expected to reach nearly 45 million by 2029, with the growing number and variety of mobile devices and smartphone applications testifying to their fundamental importance. Indeed, the development of modern technologies and increasing competition continue to drive the Spanish smartphone market forward. It then comes as no surprise that in 2023, around 97.5 percent of Spanish households owned at least one mobile phone – making these devices an indispensable staple of the Spanish population. Some of the most used smartphone apps in the country include internet browsers, email platforms, and social media apps.
