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 Internet and smartphone penetration is increasing dramatically. E-commerce applications are very popular among Indonesians and application development companies are creating brilliant features with their applications every day.
Reliance on application-based services–
From accessing tutoring classes and booking taxis, to making restaurant reservations and shopping online, the young population of Indonesia trusts apps for almost every reason. The days of visiting websites for daily activities are over, as mobile apps made it easier for us to buy, sell, or even run a business. We are becoming very dependent on applications and considering this growing propensity among users, Indonesian application development companies are participating in creating more specialized applications that will deliver a fantastic user experience. With great growth potential in rural and semi-rural areas, different types of online shopping applications allow Indonesian consumers to search, buy and find hard-to-find products. As things are going, it is not difficult to imagine that in the near future, almost all services will be delivered through custom applications.
Investments from foreigners Technology firms–
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 around 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 world’s fastest growing internet markets, 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 tech giant India for its IT projects. But the country has made remarkable progress in the information technology sector and has become an autonomous country to meet all the technology needs of the nation and offer digital assistance to other countries. As Indonesians climb to the higher echelons of consumerism, Indonesians will buy more, buy more, and do more with the mobile app. A sum of multiple factors, technological, economic and socio-political in nature, has impacted the Indonesian application development industry in recent times.
