Jakarta, Agung Intiland News - Business players in the industrial estate sector in Indonesia show optimism towards the realization of national investments in 2026, following the positive trend of investment achievements throughout 2025 and efforts to strengthen the investment ecosystem through collaboration between the government and the private sector.
According to the management of the Indonesian Industrial Estate Association (HKI), the development of industrial estates has the potential to become a growth engine for investments amidst the dynamics of the global economy and the increasing demand for integrated industrial facilities.
The latest data shows that the realization of investments in industrial estates throughout 2025 reached around Rp6,744.58 trillion, growing by 9.26% compared to 2024, with an increasing number of industrial estates and the employment of approximately 2.35 million people. Industrial estates also dominate Java Island with more than 59% of the total operating estates in Indonesia.
Furthermore, the contribution of industrial estates and their tenants to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reached nearly 9.44% based on third quarter 2025 data, reflecting the role of this sector in supporting the domestic economy.
Akhmad Ma’ruf Maulana, Chairman of HKI, stated that synergy between estate developers, the government, and stakeholders is key to realizing greater investments in 2026. “Industrial estates are not just factory lands; they are the future ecosystem that combines technology, logistics, energy, and talent to create a strong investment appeal,” he said.
Ma’ruf also emphasized the importance of resolving spatial planning and licensing obstacles so that Indonesia can maximize opportunities from the global supply chain relocation and increased foreign investments in sectors such as electric vehicles, modern logistics, renewable energy, and data centers.
Industry players hope that this momentum can drive Indonesia closer to higher economic growth targets, with the role of industrial estates further strengthened through responsive policies and regulatory harmonization across institutions. (JP)
