ndonesia is the largest archipelago in the world, renowned for its idyllic locales and rich cultural experiences with hundreds of national parks and more than 10,000 islands.
The country is growing strongly on the economic front. It is currently the world’s tenth-largest economy in purchasing power parity and continues to experience rapid growth. Indonesia is also the pacesetter in Southeast Asia in terms of its internet economy, the bellwether of our digital-centric future.
Accelerating digital growth
The fastest growth in data centers is occurring in emerging economies, according to a report by the Asia Development Bank (ADB) . Indeed, the data center market in Asia is projected to become bigger than North America’s in the next 18 months and will continue to grow at a faster rate .
With its strong growth, Indonesia is a prime location for businesses and investors looking to get on the digital bandwagon. Other reasons why Indonesia should be the next location for your next colocation destination include:
- Massive economy: The Indonesian economy is the largest in Southeast Asia with impressive and consistent economic growth over the last two decades. Forecast to be the fourth-largest economy in the world by 2050, it is well-positioned for further transformation toward greater prosperity and inclusiveness.
- Mobile-savvy users: Indonesia is the fourth-largest smartphone market worldwide with as many as 142 million mobile users and a strong mobile economy. With widespread 4G availability, mobile users turn to their smartphones to do just about everything.
- Young population: Home to over 265 million people, Indonesia is the fourth-largest nation in the world. The sheer size of its population aside, almost two-thirds of the Indonesian population is 40 years old and under, with a median age of 29 years. The young, mobile-savvy digital natives are completely at ease with an evolving, digital-centric world.
