The Ministry of Digital Affairs released the 2025 Digital Access Survey Report Jan. 13 in Taipei City, showing Taiwan has become a highly digitalized society.
The survey collected 15,142 valid responses from residents aged 12 and older across 22 cities and counties between May and July 2025, MODA said. Interviews were conducted via landline and mobile phones.
Household internet access reached 93.4 percent last year, while individual usage stood at 90.3 percent, both record highs, the ministry said. Personal internet use has risen steadily since 2020.
Instant messaging was the most common online activity, used by 97.2 percent of respondents, followed by watching or listening to audiovisual content at 91.2 percent, mirroring findings from the 2024 survey. Other activities with usage rates above 50 percent included checking product or service information, 69.6 percent; reading, 68.5 percent; online banking, 59.8 percent; and cloud storage, 54.8 percent.
MODA said the survey helps track digital access and serves as a key reference for evaluating resource allocation and shaping policy. The ministry pledged to promote balanced and inclusive digital development to further enhance public welfare. (POC-E)
