Indonesia's e-commerce sector is experiencing robust growth, with the market valued at USD 75.1 billion in 2024. Projections indicate a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2% from 2025 to 2032, aiming to reach USD 230.5 billion by 2032.
This expansion is fueled by increasing internet connectivity, a rising number of tech-savvy consumers, and the widespread use of smartphones. Notably, over 70% of online shopping transactions are conducted via mobile devices. The convenience of digital payment gateways like GoPay, DANA, and OVO further supports this trend by offering secure and user-friendly transaction options.
Government initiatives, such as the introduction of the Quick Response Code Indonesia Standard (QRIS), aim to enhance internet access and streamline transactions across various payment methods, thereby bolstering the e-commerce infrastructure.
