Iraq just crossed 38 million internet users. Most local websites are still stuck in 2018.
Iraq has 38.0 million internet users — 81.7% of the country online, growing 2.1% year over year (DataReportal, January 2025). And here's the part most agencies miss: 82.9% of those connections are mobile broadband. Your customers in Baghdad, Erbil, and Basra are scrolling on phones, on patchy 4G, often in Arabic. A site that loads in three seconds on a desktop in Amman doesn't help you. A site that loads in under two on a mid-tier Android in Mosul does.
