Introduction
Indonesia with its 270 million population is the 4 th largest country and 16 th largest economy in the world. Indonesia is rich in natural resources and with its young and vibrant population, McKinsey & Company's estimation indicates that by 2030, it is anticipated to become the 7 th largest global economy. As it stands now, Indonesia is still lagging behind in paint consumption per capita versus its neighbouring countries such as Malaysia (2x) or Thailand (3x). However, with the renewed focus on manufacturing as well as infrastructure, the demand for coatings and its raw materials is projected to increase greatly. In this Indonesian Market Presentation, we will examine the prospect, challenges and direction of the paints and coatings market in Indonesia. In particular, we will focus on the following points:
Economic Outlook of Indonesia
Paints and Coatings Landscape of Indonesia
Market Situation & Major Players
Opportunities & Challenges
