The Economist Intelligence Unit forecasts that retail sales in Indonesia will total US$330.5bn in 2014, rising to US$561.7bn in 2018. 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 the most important region for retailing.
Rising affluence is expected to drive increased consumer demand for higher-value goods in all sectors.
Demographic factors-over 28% of the population are under the age of 15-indicating that there is considerable scope for strong medium- to long-term growth in retail sales.
