Industry Findings: Indonesia’s industrial sector has moved from scattered automation pilots to scaled deployments as food, FMCG, and automotive suppliers chase higher throughput and more predictable labour availability. Executives report stronger commitments to end-to-end automation, prompting integrators to expand bilingual support, local spare-parts stocking, and OPEX-linked financing. Vendors that deliver turnkey systems with rapid ramp-up capabilities increasingly win multi-line contracts across expanding industrial corridors.
Industry Progression: Indonesia is shifting from exploratory pilots to structured automation frameworks as evidenced by its AI roadmap announcement of July 2025, which defines infrastructure and AI investment priorities; this national strategy signals to factories that automation is entering a formal growth phase, prompting robot vendors to localize service capabilities and align offers with government-backed digital transformation efforts, thereby accelerating uptake.
Industry Player Insights: Some of the players operating in the Indonesia industry are ABB Robotics, FANUC, Yaskawa, Omron, Universal Robots (Teradyne), Epson Indonesia, and local integrators like PT Len Industri. Indonesia’s public AI-and-industry roadmaps are turning pilot intent into procurement windows; for example, Indonesia’s national AI roadmap announcement in 2025 signalled infrastructure and automation priorities, which encourages vendors to localize service teams, offer bilingual support and design templates for rapid deployment, thereby accelerating fleet rollouts in food, automotive-supplier and FMCG plants.
