By 2025, Indonesia’s digital economy is expected to contribute USD 150 billion to the GDP. To achieve the target, the Indonesian government is currently implementing a massive infrastructure development. 

As part of the digital transformation, the government has launched several national programs, among others are Go Digital Vision 2020, e-smart IKM, and 100 Smart City Movement. These programs aim to develop local startups, support small to medium enterprises (SMEs) as well, and prepare and embrace the Internet of Things (IoT).

Why Work With Indonesian IT Companies

What makes Indonesian IT companies and web agencies attractive is the way young professionals have managed to adapt to new technologies and implement global business trends in their own business model. 

Currently, updating the company’s system is one of the factors that influence the success of a business. The more sophisticated the company’s technology, the easier the transaction process and the faster the time of its request process. This has an attraction that has become a trend in the Indonesian market nowadays.

What You Should Pay Attention to When Working With Indonesian IT Companies

Even though the government invests in skilled professionals and the development of IT education, most of the IT companies and creative agencies from Indonesia lack experience and are predisposed to inefficient communication and project management. This can be challenging for potential foreign customers of the sector, but it contributes to the development of the Indonesian business environment.

How Reliable Are Indonesian IT Companies

Despite e-commerce and fintech developments, Indonesia had the highest percentage of Cybercrime of malware attacks in the world (China was second with 21.26 percent). Malware is a particular problem in Indonesia, along with spam and other types of email-based scams. But what Indonesian IT companies made was transforming the challenge into opportunities, and developing the cybersecurity infrastructure, making the country well-known on the global stage as a trustworthy source of professionals and companies that can handle this type of threat, according to the Visiglobal online portal.

How Does the Indonesian IT Infrastructure Relate to the Region?

According to the Swiss Global Enterprise report from 2019, most of the contributors to Indonesia’s ICT import are from China and the ASEAN neighbors, which is still available for 2025. Indonesia has received foreign investments and witnessed several joint ventures between foreign and local companies.

However, based on another report from the Australian Trade Commission, the Indonesian ICT market features intense competition from Korean, Chinese, and the United States players.

Do Businesses Need Mobile Apps? The Answer is Obvious

Users are currently browsing and using different platforms and channels (AI chatbots, search engines, social media, email, etc.) to make a decision and ultimately purchase a product/service. Mobile devices became a significant part of their lives, so businesses need to adapt and deliver solutions for different kinds of devices and operating systems.

At minimum, businesses would need to offer a mobile app listed on Play Market (for Android) or App Store (for iOS), or offer a mobile first user experience on their websites.

The reality is that more than half of the companies don’t have a mobile app yet, or are just planning to develop one.

According to the latest survey on mobile apps conducted by TechBehmoths, 62% of businesses don’t have a mobile app and don’t plan to develop one, while around 19% of businesses don’t have one, but are planning to create one in the future, and 30% of businesses have a mobile app.

Of those firms that have one, the most popular mobile application types are the following:

• Cross-platforms mobile apps - when mobile apps are coded once and compatible with multiple mobile operating systems like Android and iOS

• Native apps - when mobile apps are specifically created for iOS, Android or any other mobile operating system

• PWA (progressive web apps) - these are web applications that provide a mobile app like experience on web browsers (desktop or mobile)

Companies can benefit from mobile apps in multiple ways. Here are the main advantages:

• Customer acquisition - there are billions of smartphone users worldwide, so it’s essential to reach your customers on the devices they use

• Revenue growth - mobile apps provide an extra channel to grow your revenue. With the rise of mobile banking, payments and transactions are not happening solely on desktops devices anymore. Digital commerce spend is expected to reach around $34 Trillion by 2029 (source)

• Brand visibility - mobile apps offer a consistent channel for brand awareness and marketing

• Internal operations - some companies choose the convenience of mobile apps to run internal operations like education, onboarding, HR, logs/checks, etc.

• Customer service - serving customers via mobile apps might be the fastest and most efficient way to keep them happy

• Customer retention - mobile app push notifications is possibly the fastest way to keep clients engaged and offer promotions

• Availability - mobile apps are there for users 24/7

Having a website might not be enough to acquire new customers and serve existing ones. Today's reality is that pretty much everyone is online and using a smartphone device for both entertainment and work.

Mobile apps will inevitably become a priority for most businesses in the next couple of years.

Companies have the option to build mobile apps in house or hire mobile app development providers. For less complex projects, low-code or no-code app tools might be worth considering.
