LET US HELP YOU FIND DISTRIBUTORS IN INDONESIA

Indonesia, the largest economy in Southeast Asia, has demonstrated remarkable economic growth over the past few decades. As of 2024, it is the world’s fourth most populous nation, with an estimated population of 283 million people.

With a nominal GDP of around USD 1.542 trillion, Indonesia accounts for nearly half of ASEAN’s economic output. Globally, the country’s economy is the 16th largest and the 8th largest in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP).

With a median age of around 30, Indonesia’s youthful and expanding population – projected to hit 317 million by 2045 – fuels a vibrant consumer market. A burgeoning middle class, coupled with rising per capita incomes, position Indonesia as one of the world’s fastest-growing consumer bases, with an estimated 76 million additional consumers expected by 2030.

Key sectors include manufacturing (encompassing food and beverages, transport equipment, and machinery), mining (rich in nickel, coal, and tin), construction, and a booming transport and communications sector fueled by digitalization. Finance and real estate also play pivotal roles, supported by Indonesia’s growing urban centers.

The government has rolled out ambitious reforms to bolster investment and competitiveness, notably through the Omnibus Law on Job Creation and downstream industrial policies targeting value-added exports like electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Infrastructure development remains a cornerstone, with large projects like the new capital city being developed in Borneo, Nusantara.
