In the first quarter of 2021, the average Malaysian mobile internet user consumed about 25.7 GB of data. Malaysia's high usage can be partly explained by the fact that most providers offered 1GB for free during the pandemic. However, with the increasing demand of online video and social media content this figure is expected to further grow over the next few years.
