Transform, Innovate, Accelerate: Shaping the Future of Indonesian Retail
- October 2025
- Jakarta, Indonesia
Overview
Indonesia is entering a new era of retail evolution — where physical stores, digital platforms, and emerging technologies converge to reshape how consumers shop and how businesses compete. With one of the most dynamic retail ecosystems in Southeast Asia, the country offers unparalleled opportunities for transformation through innovation.
In 2024, Indonesia’s total retail market was valued at over USD 520 billion, making it the largest in Southeast Asia. This figure is projected to reach USD 640 billion by 2026, fueled by rising consumer spending, urbanization, and a digitally savvy middle class.
Simultaneously, the e-commerce sector alone accounted for more than USD 62 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to over USD 95 billion by 2026, according to Statista and Google’s e-Conomy SEA. Online shopping has become mainstream — driven by mobile-first behavior, digital wallets, hyperlocal delivery, and social commerce. Yet, the real competitive edge lies in how well retailers integrate digital capabilities into their end-to-end operations.
While the numbers are promising, retail innovation and tech adoption remain uneven across the market. Many traditional retailers are still in early stages of digital transformation, while disruptors are leveraging AI, automation, blockchain, and immersive tech to scale faster and serve smarter.
This conference explores these divides and bridges — offering a deep dive into the future of Indonesian retail and e-commerce from 2026 and beyond. With keynotes, panels, roundtable discussions, and case studies, the agenda is designed to equip business leaders with the tools, insights, and partnerships they need to innovate and lead.
Indonesia’s retail market is expanding rapidly, driven by urbanization, digital adoption, and rising consumer spending. Valued at USD 49.9 billion in 2025, the market is expected to grow at a 4.7% CAGR through 2029. E-commerce plays a key role, projected to reach USD 194.2 billion by 2030, with major platforms like Shopee and Tokopedia leading the way. Food and beverage dominate retail spending (56%), but fashion and accessories are the fastest-growing segments. Digital wallets (used by 72% of shoppers) and cash on delivery (57%) show the dual nature of payment preferences across urban and rural areas.
Key trends include omnichannel retail, AI-driven personalization, and social commerce, expected to hit USD 22 billion GMV by 2028. Challenges remain in infrastructure and regulatory complexity, especially outside major cities. Overall, Indonesia offers strong growth potential for retail and e-commerce—provided companies can adapt to evolving consumer habits and logistical hurdles.
