Indonesia Telecom Towers Market Analysis
The Indonesia Telecom Towers Market size in terms of installed base is expected to grow from 118.62 thousand units in 2025 to 122.28 thousand units by 2030, at a CAGR of 0.61% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
- The increasing penetration of high-speed internet services in the country and the sharp rise in the number of smartphone and smart device users are some of the key driving factors expected to affect the growth trajectory of the country telecom tower market in the next years.
- Tower businesses have more opportunities for growth due to smart cities, and many of them are aiming to provide end-to-end communications infrastructure in the chosen cities. Towercos can provide various options for smart cities, including passive infrastructure, small cells, Wi-Fi, and fiber connectivity. Smart poles, which guarantee improved cellular coverage and enhance aesthetic value, have already begun to be installed by many tower firms. These poles can be leased to network operators and the government to install surveillance and traffic management systems and offer Wi-Fi and smart lighting services.
- The country have stepped forward to ensure a healthy evolution of this technology after 5G was launched, and its potential advantages were highlighted at the Indonesian level. Numerous Indonesian players have also gone into research, development, and inventions for the country's telecom tower technology. The installation of more telecom towers helps network operators who provide mobile broadband overcome a few major obstacles. They help meet speed and quality demands over the network, are cost-effective in managing the network's always-increasing traffic, and monetize customer value in a cutthroat market environment.
- For instance, as per GSMA, from 2024-2030, 5G is forecasted to contribute more than USD 41 billion in GDP to the Indonesian economy. 5G will empower Indonesia to unlock the potential of Industry 4.0 and will be the foundation on which the country can realize the government’s “2045 Digital Indonesia” vision.
- Further, to enable a country's transition into a digital economy and knowledge society, significant investments in infrastructure, both in optical-fiber cables and towers, for wireless transmission, are required. Government is emphasizing these factors and taking various measures and initiatives to expand network infrastructure in rural areas.
Indonesia Telecom Towers Market Trends
Rooftop Installation augments the Market's Growth
- Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) will need to make significant infrastructure investments for 5G to expand, and rooftop infrastructure will be essential to these investments. Building facades and rooftops are ideal real estate for MNOs wishing to densify their networks and expand their capacity or coverage.
- Antennas on the 5G network can deliver 5G signals straight to customers through a more significant line of sight on rooftops in an urban setting. In this approach, 5G reception can be reliably obtained by people and devices on the ground and close to the boundaries of surrounding buildings.
- For instance, PT Tower Bersama Infrastructure Tbk, a key telecommunications tower provider in Indonesia. The company has actively embraced rooftop installations as part of its strategy to meet the growing needs of mobile operators in urban centers. By leveraging existing buildings, PT Tower Bersama has been able to quickly deploy new sites, reducing both time to market and costs associated with traditional tower construction. This approach not only supports the rapid expansion of network coverage but also aligns with Indonesia's push towards digital transformation and improved telecommunications infrastructure.
- However, with space constraints and rising land costs, rooftop towers have found higher attractiveness amongst telecom tower players and mobile network operators. The initial implementation of telecom towers are backbone components that enable the rolling out of these technologies incur high costs; therefore, the market players are adopting different strategies for cost-effective deployments of telecom towers.
- Overall, the shift towards rooftop installations is playing a vital role in augmenting the growth of Indonesia's telecom towers market. With the ongoing urbanization and the increasing reliance on advanced mobile networks, this trend is likely to continue, offering telecom companies a scalable and flexible solution to meet the nation's connectivity demands.

Renewable Fuel Type Spur the Market Growth
- Telecom tower companies in the country have been increasingly adopting renewable energy sources amid mounting pressure of rising liquid fuel costs and operating costs. Green technologies could help the industry save operational costs.
- A significant driver of the conversion to greener alternatives is expected to be the Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) that provide energy to the towers that are owned by Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and dedicated Tower Companies (Towercos).
- Multiple MNOs across the country are selling their tower assets, including the energy infrastructure. This trend, brought on by a strong imperative to cut network deployment and operating costs, is expected to intensify in the future. The ESCOs have also driven the evolution of the Power-as-a-Service market, where all the power management-related work is outsourced to those who prefer renewables to cut costs.
- In February 2024, Hi-COM Network Private Limited, a key internet service provider, announced a collaboration with Indus Towers Limited, the telecom tower company globally, to enhance telecommunications infrastructure and drive sustainability efforts. Indus Towers Limited, formed by the merger of Bharti Infratel Limited and Indus Towers, has been pivotal in providing robust infrastructure for the telecommunications sector. Through this partnership, Hi-COM leverage its expertise to support Indus Towers in erecting new towers and upgrading existing ones to meet the growing demands of the industry
- In November 2023, Indonesia’s Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) introduced the Comprehensive Investment and Policy Plan (CIPP) 2023, a road map for the country’s energy transition with an initial commitment of USD 20 billion.
