Indonesia to Dominate the Market
- Indonesia dominates the consumption of adhesives and sealants in the region. Growing construction activities, electronics production, and increasing consumption in the packaging industry are some of the key factors driving the growth of the adhesives and sealants market in the country.
- In Southeast Asia, Indonesia is one of the largest and fastest-growing markets. Moreover, the Indonesian government started a program to build about one million housing units across Indonesia, for which the government allocated about USD 1 billion in the budget.
- Indonesia's construction industry experienced increased growth due to increases in infrastructure construction. In 2022, approximately 148.6 thousand small construction establishments were active in Indonesia.
- Indonesia is Southeast Asia's largest automotive production hub. The production of automobiles for the year 2022 accounted for 1,470,146 units, an increase of 31% compared to 2020. Although the penetration of electric vehicles in the country is admissibly low, the future of the electric vehicle industry in the country looks very bright. The government is determined to support the adoption of electric vehicles in the country for producers and consumers. Moreover, the government is giving EV consumers subsidies and tax cuts to EV automakers. Indonesia is pushing for the development and manufacture of electric vehicles and battery production facilities, which in turn is likely to benefit the market growth in the country.
- Moreover, Indonesia is developing Jawa 9 and Jawa 10, two new coal-fired power plants, to expand the Suralaya coal-fired steam power plant (CFSPP). Each unit is expected with a capacity of 1 GW. Jawa 9 is estimated to be commissioned in the fourth quarter of 2023, whereas Jawa 10 is scheduled for the first quarter of 2024.
- Hence, all such trends in the end-user industries are expected to drive the growth of the adhesives and sealants market in the country over the forecast period.
