Overview

As the total number of Indonesian internet users continues to rise, it is perhaps unsurprising that electronic-based trading (“E-Commerce”) is now shaping up to become one of the country’s most highly developed business sectors, with growth predicted to continue to rise over the next few years.[1] Indeed, according to recent research, E-Commerce transactions in Indonesia are set to total USD 21 billion this year, which represents a 12 fold increase over the figure posted in 2015. Moreover, it has been estimated that the country’s total annual E-Commerce transaction value will top USD 82 billion by 2025.[2]
