Indonesia is the fourth most populous nation in the world, with a population of approximately 273 million in 2022.

These consumers are increasingly seeking new products with a focus on health and nutrition.
Indonesia’s middle-class is forecast to reach 135 million by 2030, further driving consumer demand while providing a significant opportunity for imported food and beverages. In 2021, Indonesia’s GDP reached US$1,185 billion and GDP per capita reached US$4,349.5 (est.). Growth of GDP was 5% in 2022 and forecasted at 5.2% in 2023.
