The Economist Intelligence Unit forecasts that retail sales in Indonesia will total US$349bn in 2015, rising to US$549bn in 2019. Together with restaurants and hotels, the retail and wholesale sector employs about one-fifth of the labour force, or around 25m people.
Urban areas, which accommodate around 60% of the population, will remain the focus of retail activity. The island of Java is by far the most important region for retailing, and will remain so in the forecast period.
Rising affluence is expected to drive increased consumer demand for higher-value goods in all sectors.
Demographic factors—more than 25% of the population are under the age of 15-indicate that there is considerable scope for strong medium- to long-term growth in retail sales.
