Total number of mobile subscriptions Australia 2015-2022

According to a report on digital and mobile trends, the total number of mobile connections in Australia reached nearly 31.9 million in 2022. While this figure represents a slight decrease from the previous year, there has been an overall increasing trend in the number of mobile connections since 2015.

Changing consumer habits

In recent years, more and more Australians have decided to drop their fixed-line connections at home and now rely exclusively on mobile devices for voice calls. What’s more, a vast majority of Australian adults now access the internet with a mobile phone at least once a day. An increase in the number of mobile phone internet users is expected to continue.

A thriving, dynamic market

With the number of smartphone users forecasted to steadily increase until at least 2025, mobile devices represent a thriving market in Australia. Apple has dominated for some time, though recent years have shown that the mobile device market is quite dynamic, with many different players now competing for market share.
