JAKARTA, Agung Intiland News - The growth of industrial estates in Banten Province continues to be supported by increased infrastructure connectivity and industrial activities in the Greater Tangerang area. In the midst of the business world's need for logistics efficiency, industrial estates in Banten are considered increasingly strategic because they are located on the main distribution route between Jakarta, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Merak Port, and access to various industrial estates on the island of Java.
Banten over the past few years has developed into one of the national industrial centers with concentrations in the manufacturing, logistics, automotive, food and beverage, chemical, and modern warehousing sectors. The geographical position that is directly adjacent to DKI Jakarta makes this province the main gateway for the flow of goods from and to the island of Sumatra and the Greater Jakarta metropolitan area.
In Tangerang Regency, investment activities are still dominated by the development of production facilities, warehouses, and distribution centers. Companies are now increasingly considering locations that can cut distribution times, reduce logistics costs, and provide ready-to-use infrastructure without requiring additional investment on a large scale.
The change reflects a shift in investor preferences. If previously land prices were the main factor, now the company prioritizes areas that already have a good road network, complete utilities, and easy access to airports, ports, and toll roads. These criteria are considered to be able to increase operational efficiency while accelerating the business expansion process.
According to the management of Laksana Business Park, this trend shows that modern industrial estates must be able to provide added value beyond land provision. Investors and tenants now need areas that support productivity through reliable infrastructure, efficient logistics access, and an integrated business environment.
"The company is increasingly focusing on operational efficiency. Therefore, areas that have strategic access, adequate utilities, and operational readiness will be more competitive in attracting new investments," said the management representative of Laksana Business Park.
Seeing these developments, the industrial corridor in Tangerang Regency is expected to remain one of the attractive investment destinations in Banten. The combination of strategic location, industrial growth, and logistics connectivity is an important capital to support the expansion of the manufacturing and warehousing sectors in the second half of 2026.
