What This Tool Does

Explore digital economy and technology adoption data for any country in the world. Look up internet penetration rates, mobile subscriptions, broadband access, e-government readiness scores, and ICT infrastructure indicators. Track digital growth, identify connectivity gaps, and compare how countries are progressing in the digital era — all from a comprehensive global data set.

Product Instructions

Digital Economy & Technology Data

Access comprehensive digital economy statistics from the World Bank's World Development Indicators database covering 200+ countries. Query internet penetration, mobile and broadband infrastructure, ICT trade metrics, digital divide analysis, and regional comparisons using natural language country names.

Actions

query_digital_data

Fetch digital economy and technology indicator data for a country or region.

Required Parameters:

  • action (string): Must be "query_digital_data"
  • country_or_region (string): Country or region name in plain language (e.g., "South Korea", "Kenya", "World")

Optional Parameters:

  • digital_aspect (string, default: "all"): Digital domain to query. One of:
    • "internet" - Internet users (% of population and total count)
    • "mobile" - Mobile cellular subscriptions (total and per 100 people) and fixed telephone subscriptions
    • "broadband" - Fixed broadband (total and per 100 people) and mobile broadband subscriptions
    • "ict" - ICT goods exports/imports, ICT service exports, high-tech exports (value and % of manufactured)
    • "infrastructure" - Secure internet servers, telephone subscriptions, fixed broadband
    • "e_government" - E-government context (limited; World Bank data does not include EGDI directly)
    • "all" - All available digital indicators
  • calculate_digital_divide (boolean, default: false): Calculate digital access gaps (100% minus current access rates) for internet, broadband, and mobile
  • time_period (string, default: "latest"): Time period for data. Options:
    • "latest" - Most recent available data
    • "last_5_years" - Last 5 years of data
    • "last_10_years" - Last 10 years of data
    • "YYYY:YYYY" - Specific year range (e.g., "2015:2020"). Years must be between 1960 and current year.
    • "YYYY" - A single year (e.g., "2020")
  • include_regional_comparison (boolean, default: true): Include comparison data with digital leaders (World average, High Income countries, South Korea, Singapore)
  • include_trends (boolean, default: true): Include trend analysis with CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) calculations when historical data is available

  "digital_aspect": "broadband",
  "time_period": "last_10_years",
  "include_trends": true
}

  "country_or_region": "India",
  "digital_aspect": "all",
  "time_period": "latest",
  "calculate_digital_divide": true,

  "action": "query_digital_data",
  "country_or_region": "China",
  "digital_aspect": "ict",
  "time_period": "2015:2020"
}

Supported Countries and Regions

Accepts plain-language names. Examples of supported inputs:

  • Countries: "United States", "USA", "India", "South Korea", "Nigeria", "Brazil", "Singapore", "Kenya", etc. (200+ countries)
  • Regions: "Sub-Saharan Africa", "Latin America", "Middle East", "South Asia", "East Asia", "Europe"
  • Income groups: "Low Income", "Lower Middle Income", "Upper Middle Income", "High Income", "OECD"
  • Global: "World" or "Global"
  • ISO3 codes: 3-letter codes like "USA", "IND", "KOR" are also accepted

Country names support partial matching, so "UK" maps to United Kingdom and "America" maps to USA.

Available Indicators

Internet Access
  • Internet Users (% of population)
  • Internet Users (total number)
Mobile and Telephony
  • Mobile Cellular Subscriptions (total)
  • Mobile Subscriptions (per 100 people)
  • Fixed Telephone Subscriptions
Broadband
  • Fixed Broadband Subscriptions (total)
  • Fixed Broadband (per 100 people)
  • Mobile Broadband Subscriptions
ICT Trade
  • ICT Goods Exports (% of total goods exports)
  • ICT Goods Imports (% of total goods imports)
  • ICT Service Exports (% of service exports)
  • High-Technology Exports (current US$)
  • High-Tech Exports (% of manufactured exports)
Infrastructure and R&D
  • Secure Internet Servers (per million people)
  • Researchers in R&D (per million people)
  • R&D Expenditure (% of GDP)

Response Structure

Responses include:

  • Indicator data with latest values, proper units (%, per 100 people, total numbers, current US$), year, and source
  • Trend analysis with absolute change, percent change, direction (increasing/decreasing/stable), data point count, and CAGR when applicable
  • Digital divide analysis (when enabled): internet access gap, fixed broadband gap, mobile coverage status
  • Regional comparison benchmarked against World average, High Income countries, South Korea, and Singapore
  • Insights covering internet penetration levels, mobile adoption, broadband infrastructure, ICT export significance, digital expansion rates, and SDG 9.c progress
  • SDG 9.c alignment (Universal and affordable access to internet)

Digital Divide Analysis

When calculate_digital_divide is true, the response includes:

  • Internet access gap: Current access percentage and the gap (100% minus access)
  • Fixed broadband gap: Current subscriptions per 100 people and gap to universal access
  • Mobile coverage: Subscriptions per 100 people and whether coverage exceeds population (multiple devices per person)

Workflows

  1. Digital Readiness Assessment: Query all digital indicators for a country with regional comparison to benchmark against digital leaders
  2. Digital Divide Analysis: Enable calculate_digital_divide for internet and broadband aspects to quantify access gaps
  3. ICT Trade Research: Use digital_aspect: "ict" with trends to track technology export growth over time
  4. Infrastructure Planning: Query broadband and infrastructure aspects over the last 10 years to identify growth patterns
  5. SDG 9.c Monitoring: Query internet penetration with regional comparison to assess progress toward universal access

Notes

  • Data sourced from World Bank World Development Indicators
  • Mobile subscriptions can exceed 100 per 100 people due to multiple SIMs/devices per person
  • Fixed broadband means wired broadband subscriptions, not mobile broadband
  • Mobile broadband refers to internet via mobile networks (3G, 4G, 5G)
  • ICT goods include computers, telecom equipment, and consumer electronics
  • High-tech exports include aerospace, computers, pharmaceuticals, and instruments
  • Secure internet servers are measured per 1 million people
  • The E-Government Development Index (EGDI) is not available in World Bank data; the "e_government" aspect returns an empty indicator set
  • Data availability varies by country and indicator; most recent data may be 1-2 years old
  • When an unrecognized digital_aspect is provided, the tool defaults to internet and mobile indicators
  • Regional comparison benchmarks against World, High Income, South Korea, and Singapore using internet_users, mobile_subscriptions_per100, and fixed_broadband_per100
  • Trend CAGR is only calculated for multi-year periods where both start and end values are positive
