That’s a 5.6% growth from the previous year—an additional 750,000 new users engaging with platforms like Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Social platforms are not just for fun—they're now vital for SEO success, acting as powerful traffic and backlink channels.

96% of internet users in Nepal access the web via smartphones.

Over 1.229 million smartphones were imported in the first 7 months of FY 2024/25, worth around Rs 19 billion.
