Often underappreciated for its immensity, Indonesia has approximately 250 million people, which makes it the world’s fourth most populous country. Indonesia also plays an outsized role in the region’s economic activity, as its economy is the largest in the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). Indonesia may be classified as a lower-middle income country, but it offers vast potential in terms of commercial opportunity, particularly in pharmaceuticals. From 2007 to 2013, Indonesia’s pharmaceutical industry grew by 85 percent, including 7% in 2014 alone, and is now valued at $6 billion. Growth is forecasted to rise to 12% in 2015 and to continue through 2018. As Indonesia’s market for pharmaceuticals expands and deepens, domestic and multinational players are positioning themselves to capitalize on emerging opportunities.
