Indonesia eCommerce Market Localization Guide

This latest version includes:

• Data section: The basic data of the country and eCommerce data in the guide have been comprehensively updated.
• Post-pandemic economic recovery: In this revision of the guide, we have added a section on “Covid Update – Country Initiatives and Economic Recovery”, which provides insights into Indonesia’s post-pandemic economic recovery and the government updated policies.

Indonesia is the largest archipelago nation on Earth, home to the world’s largest populated island, and the largest Muslim country on the planet. Its storied culture, its massive population, and its unique geographical challenges make Indonesia a country that overseas companies approach with a mix of excitement and trepidation.
