As of January 2022, Morocco had an internet penetration of approximately 84.1 percent, making it the country with the highest internet penetration in Africa. Seychelles ranked second, with 79 percent, followed by Egypt with approximately 72 percent. As of August 2021, the majority of web traffic in leading digital markets in Africa originated from mobile devices in Sudan. Across the nation, 89 percent of web traffic was generated via smartphones and only 10 percent via PC devices. This is in part due to the fact that mobile connections are much cheaper and do not require the infrastructure that is needed for traditional desktop PCs with fixed-line internet connections.
