Data Consumption
When analyzing mobile internet data traffic in Peru , there has been an increase compared to previous years .
Since 2019 , consumption has tripled , going from 102 to 307 petabytes ( PB ) per month in 2022 .
By the end of 2022 , the total number of mobile lines with internet access increased by approximately 9 %, reaching 29 million – marking an 87 % penetration in the national population .
The number of mobile connections in the Peruvian market continues to grow , according to an infographic from 5G Americas compiled with data from DN Consultores .
Regarding average mobile traffic per connection , it has increased from four gigabytes ( GB ) per month in 2019 to 10 GB per month in 2022 , a slightly smaller growth compared to the total traffic . This is explained , on one hand , by the higher average consumption per line and , on the other hand , by the increase in mobile lines with internet – which has raised the total demand for traffic . p
According to the research , by the end of 2022 there were 29 million mobile lines with internet in Peru , representing an 87 % penetration in the country ’ s total population .
This represents an addition of 2.4 million lines ( an increase of about 9 %) and a 7 % growth in penetration compared to the total population when compared to the previous year . As a result , Peru ranks fourth in mobile penetration in South America , behind Chile ( 115 %), Brazil ( 103 %) and Uruguay ( 102 %) and above the regional average ( 83 %).
In terms of technologies , 4G is dominant with 26 million lines , compared to only two million 3G lines and one million 2G lines .
The number of 3G lines is decreasing and heading towards obsolescence thanks to the transition to 4G . There is also a significant increase in mobile lines without internet – which decreased from 17 million in 2021 to 13 million in 2022 .
