The line graph illustrates the proportion of internet usage across three separate nations, namely the UK, France, and Germany, between 2010 and 2020.
Overall, it is clear that while France and the UK experienced an upward trajectory, Germany was a notable exception, showing a steady downward trend. Notably, internet penetration in France witnessed the most pronounced growth throughout the surveyed years.
In 2010, the proportion of households with internet access in Germany accounted for approximately 88%, which was significantly higher than that of the UK and France, representing 50% and 40%, respectively. The percentage of internet users in the UK soared consistently and reached its peak of 80% by 2015. Similarly, the share of internet penetration in France climbed marginally, inching up to 50% by 2015. Conversely, Germany followed a different pattern, declining sharply to just over 60% in the year 2015.
From 2015 onwards, the percentage of households with internet access in France surged sharply, peaking at 90% by 2020. In stark contrast to France, internet penetration in the UK and Germany observed a marked decrease, falling consistently to 70% and 50% for each by 2020.
