Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Slovenia's individuals using the Internet (% of population) rose 0.39 percentage points on 2023 (from 90.38% to 90.76%).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +3 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 3.43 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 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 15.07 percentage points in 2001 and the biggest yearly fall was 2.66 percentage points in 2011. 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 2.09 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 95% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

Internet users are 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.
