Just before that, we’d like to say a big thank you to Meltwater and to We Are Social for their support of the Global Digital Reports series in 2025.
Now, let’s start exploring the data…
The “state of digital” in San Marino in 2025
Here are DataReportal’s essential headlines for the adoption and use of connected devices and services in San Marino in 2025:
There were 29.2 thousand individuals using the internet in San Marino at the start of 2025, when online penetration stood at 87.0 percent.
San Marino was home to 9,000 social media user identities in January 2025, equating to 26.8 percent of the total population.
These headline stats offer a great overview of the “state of digital” in San Marino at the start of 2025, but in order to make sense of how digital trends and behaviours have been evolving over time, we need to dig deeper into the data.
Let’s take a closer look at what the numbers tell us, starting with some valuable context relating to the population of San Marino.
Population of San Marino in 2025
The population of San Marino stood at 33.6 thousand in January 2025.
Data shows that San Marino’s population decreased by 52 (-0.2 percent) between early 2024 and the start of 2025.
Meanwhile, in early 2025, 98.0 percent of San Marino’s population lived in urban centres, whereas 2.0 percent lived in rural areas.
At that time, 50.8 percent of San Marino’s population was female, while 49.2 percent of the population was male.
Note: gender data were only available for “female” and “male” at the time of report production.
San Marino’s population by age
At the beginning of 2025, the median age of San Marino’s population was 48.6, with half of San Marino’s population above this age, and the other half of the population below it.
For added context, here’s how San Marino’s total population broke down by age group at the start of the year:
3.2 percent was between the ages of 0 and 4.
6.6 percent was between the ages of 5 and 12.
5.3 percent was between the ages of 13 and 17.
7.3 percent was between the ages of 18 and 24.
9.8 percent was between the ages of 25 and 34.
11.0 percent was between the ages of 35 and 44.
16.2 percent was between the ages of 45 and 54.
17.5 percent was between the ages of 55 and 64.
23.1 percent was aged 65 and above.
Note: percentages may not sum to 100 percent due to rounding.
Internet use in San Marino in 2025
At the time of report production, the latest available data indicated that there were 29.2 thousand internet users in San Marino in January 2025.
This means that San Marino’s internet penetration rate stood at 87.0 percent of the total population at the start of the year.
Meanwhile, Kepios’s analysis indicates that the number of internet users in San Marino decreased by 45 (-0.2 percent) between January 2024 and January 2025.
And for added perspective, San Marino’s internet adoption rate (i.e. the percentage of the total population that uses the internet) remained unchanged during the same period.
But these user figures also suggest that 4,362 people in San Marino did not use the internet at the beginning of 2025, suggesting that 13.0 percent of the population remained “offline” at the start of the year.
However, complexities associated with the collection and analysis of internet user data mean that it can often take several months before research is ready for publication.
As a result, the latest published figures for internet use may under-represent current realities, and actual rates for internet adoption and year-on-year growth may be higher than the figures shown here suggest.
Please see our comprehensive notes on data for further details.
Internet connection speeds in San Marino in 2025
Figures published by Ookla indicate that internet users in San Marino could have expected the following internet connection speeds at the beginning of 2025, reported in megabits per second (Mbps):
Median fixed internet download speed: 93.81 Mbps.
Ookla’s data shows that the download speed of the typical fixed internet connection in San Marino increased by 32.13 Mbps (+52.1 percent) in the twelve months to January 2025.
Social media statistics for San Marino in 2025
DataReportal’s figures show that there were 9,000 active social media user identities in San Marino in January 2025.
For perspective, this figure was equivalent to 26.8 percent of San Marino’s total population at the start of 2025.
However, while our methodology strives to “de-duplicate” social media users across different social platforms — and, wherever possible, to remove accounts that do not represent individual human users — it’s important to stress that our social media user identities figures may not represent unique individuals (see our detailed notes on data to learn why).
Moreover, due to complexities associated with de-duplicating users across different social platforms, the methodology that we use to calculate social media user identities may sometimes only factor users of the social media platform that has the largest active audience in the respective country at the time of report production.
As a result, the figures that we publish for a country’s overall social media use may sometimes look very similar to the statistics that we publish for the most popular social media platform in that country.
Separately, please also note that the signals and sources that we rely on to inform these social media figures make regular changes and corrections to their data.
As a result, the values for social media use shown here might appear to be quite different to the numbers that we published in previous years.
Because of this, we advise significant caution when comparing the values for social media user identities published in this year’s reports with those published in previous years, especially because changes in our reported values may be the result of “corrections” in the source data, and not all trends will be the result of changes in actual user behaviour.
Indeed, source data anomalies mean that we are currently unable to report reliable figures for change over time in social media user identities for San Marino, and readers should avoid comparing current values for social media user identities with equivalent values shown in our previous reports, because such comparisons will result in incorrect values and unrepresentative trends.Turning our attention to user demographics, data published in the ad planning tools of top social media platforms indicates that there were 9,150 users aged 18 and above using social media in San Marino at the beginning of 2025, which was equivalent to 32.1 percent of the total population aged 18 and above.
At that time, 55.1 percent of San Marino’s social media user identities were female, while 44.9 percent were male.
And for added context, it may be helpful to know that 30.8 percent of San Marino’s total internet user base (regardless of age) used at least one social media platform in January 2025.
Note: due to source data limitations, we’re only able to report gender data for “female” and “male”.
