| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 93.81% | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | 87.81% | 2019 |
| Ten years earlier | 77.31% | 2014 |
| Highest | 96.76% | 2021 |
| Lowest | 64.49% | 2009 |
| Average since 2015 | 89.06% | 2015–2024 |
| First recorded | 64.49% | 2009 |
Over five years it is up 6 percentage points from 87.81% in 2019. Since 2009 it is up 29.32 percentage points from 64.49% in 2009. The World Bank has no value for 3 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
In 2024, Singapore's individuals using the Internet, female (% of female population) fell 0.16 percentage points on 2023 (from 93.97% to 93.81%).
Across the 10 yearly changes before that (2014 to 2023), the average change was +1.48 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 3 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 5.93 percentage points in 2016 and the biggest yearly fall was 1.84 percentage points in 2014. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 1.86 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 84% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2024, Singapore had the 13th highest value of the 46 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
This indicator refers to female individuals who have used the Internet (from any location) in the last 3 months. The Internet can be used via a computer, mobile phone, personal digital assistant, games machine, digital TV etc.
Limitations: Operators have traditionally been the main source of telecommunications data, so information on subscriptions has been widely available for most countries. This gives a general idea of access, but a more precise measure is the penetration rate - the share of households with access to telecommunications. During the past few years more information on information and communication technology use has become available from household and business surveys. Also important are data on actual use of telecommunications services. Ideally, statistics on telecommunications (and other information and communications technologies) should be compiled for all three measures: subscriptions, access, and use.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
