• Indonesia is one of the largest and fastest-growing digital economies in the world – and the undisputed leader in Southeast Asia. World Bank forecasts see GDP growth projected to hold at 5.0% in 2026, rising to 5.2% in 2027. Digital infrastructure will be a key driver of growth. Aspirational spending and digital adoption are on the rise amongst Indonesian consumers even as the traditional middle class contracts – from 57.33 million people in 2019 to 47.85 million in 2024, per EBC research. In 2025, household consumption accounted for around 54% of GDP, which expanded 5.6% YoY in Q1 2026, driven by resilient domestic demand, early Ramadan spending, and expanded social programs. Smart home adoption is driven by a narrower but higher-earning urban consumer segment along with housing-developer bundling for new properties.

• Electronics manufacturers are entering an era in which sourcing decisions must account for inflation, component shortages, geopolitical disruption, logistics volatility and rapidly changing demand. Against that backdrop, procurement leaders are investing heavily in artificial intelligence. But AI is not a substitute for reliable information. Without clean supplier, part, pricing, logistics and compliance data, an AI sourcing system may simply automate confusion while making its recommendations harder to challenge.
