Canada: mobile subscription penetration 2021

In 2021, the number of mobile cellular subscriptions in Canada stood close to 86 per 100 inhabitants, falling from the 2019 figure of 91.59. This was a slight increase from the previous year after the first decline in 2020 since the survey began in 2000, though the 2020 data does reflect a change in methodology to include mobile phone subscribers only, with mobile broadband and other plans for mobile devices excluded from the survey.
