Industry Findings: Demand is increasingly shaped by industrial and defense-modernization priorities, leading firms to view automation as a tool for strengthening competitiveness and technological sovereignty. Our assessment indicates that nearshoring, skills development, and large public exhibitions are shaping buyer roadmaps toward ruggedised, interoperable robots for logistics, inspection, and maintenance. A prominent non-vendor structural marker was the Indo Defence Expo & Forum held in Jun-2025, which reinforced government-level commitments to indigenous capability development and cross-border industrial partnerships. The immediate impact has been stronger procurement pipelines for locally adaptable robotics and greater public funding appetite for testbeds that accelerate industry-grade automation adoption.
Industry Player Insights: Some of the players operating in the Indonesia industry are PT Len Industri, Halo Robotics, TARA Robotic Automation, and PT Linkra Wahana Teknologi etc. PT Len deepened capability partnerships by signing a joint-venture agreement with a strategic partner to advance defence and autonomy programs in May-2024, strengthening local manufacturing and CoE ambitions. Halo Robotics and other local drone/robotics integrators expanded service offerings across 2024, supporting precision-agriculture and security use cases in archipelagic settings. TARA Robotic Automation continued to deliver factory automation projects during 2024–2025 that improve commissioning speed for SMEs. These vendor activities boost market confidence in domestically supported robotics and encourage Indonesian buyers to prefer providers that couple localisation with proven deployment and maintenance pathways.
