Telecoms industry in Sweden - statistics & facts
Like all the Nordic nations, Sweden has a high rate of digitalization and telecommunication penetration. In 2023, 95 percent of Sweden’s population of over 10 million had access to the internet at home. This represented a significant increase from the 51 percent of the population that had internet access at home in 2000. Internet services form part of a wider telecommunications market in Sweden valued at 4.4 billion euros though it has been declining slowly in recent years. The drop in revenue may stem from a drop in prices as the broadband price index has seen a steady decrease from 2016 to 2019 where it plateaued. By 2023, the broadband price index totaled 66 points, aligning it with the EU average of 64 points.
