The mobile app development industry in Indonesia has made amazing progress in the global ecosystem. It is a young and growing industry with enormous potential to attract large domestic and foreign investment. With the number of mobile apps hitting the market every day, the amount of revenue generated by the Indonesian mobile app industry is staggeringly high. By upgrading their capabilities and offerings in line with emerging technologies, mobile app development companies here have shown strong character and readiness to meet today’s challenges.
Let’s take a look at the factors that have a huge impact behind the growing app development market in Indonesia.
Increased mobile phone penetration and decreased data costs–
The number of Indonesians with Internet access is growing rapidly and has increased nearly sevenfold since 2009. The country now has a smartphone user base of more than 60 million, with smartphone penetration reaching the cities of Level III and IV, due to the availability of more affordable smartphones. Indonesia has established itself as one of the leading mobile nations in Asia. After China and India, the third largest smartphone market in the Asia-Pacific region is Indonesia. Online retail is growing rapidly in Southeast Asia’s largest economy as both internet and smartphone penetration are rising sharply. E-commerce apps are very popular among Indonesians and app development companies come up with brilliant features with their apps every day.
Trust in application-based services–
From accessing tutoring classes and booking taxis, to making restaurant reservations and shopping online, young Indonesians rely on apps for almost every reason. The days of visiting websites for daily activities are over as mobile apps made it easier for all of us to buy, sell, or even run a business. We are becoming very dependent on apps and taking advantage of this growing propensity among users, Indonesian app development companies are involved in creating more specialized apps that will offer fantastic user experience. With much potential for growth in semi-rural and rural areas, different types of online shopping applications allow Indonesian consumers to source, buy and find hard-to-find products. The way things are going, it’s not hard to imagine that in the near future, almost all services will be delivered through custom apps.
foreign investments Technology –
Big tech companies like Expedia, Google, Alibaba are investing heavily in Indonesia and this country is awash with foreign capital making it the largest economy in Southeast Asia. Tech entrepreneurs from all over the world are showing their interest in this country and it has undoubtedly helped the 360-degree development of Indonesia’s information and technology sector. Today, Indonesia is one of the fastest growing internet markets in the world, as well as home to many newly minted tech unicorns. Reputable mobile app development companies are sharing their technology with Indonesian companies, hiring talented people for their company, starting new companies and most importantly sharing their technical skills.
Even a few years ago, Indonesia used to rely heavily on the Indian tech giant for its IT projects. But the country has made remarkable progress in the IT sector and has become an independent country to meet all the technological needs of the nation, as well as offer digital assistance to the other countries. As Indonesians climb to the higher echelons of consumerism, Indonesians will shop more, shop more and do more with the mobile app. A sum of multiple factors such as technological, economic and socio-political nature has impacted the Indonesian app development industry in recent times.
