International business looking for franchisee in Indonesia

15.04.2021 Update: 15.04.2021

By 2030, Indonesia's economy will improve three times compared to Australia's.
According to forecasts, GDP of the most populous Muslim region will grow from $ 3.2 to $ 10.1 trillion.

These numbers contribute leading international franchise companies to become interested in finding major franchisees exactly in Indonesia.

Indonesia is already known for the biggest food service market in ASEAN. There are big changes in people's lives and an increasing percentage of the middle class and people's incomes.

“The development of Indonesian food franchising is really promising because Indonesia is rapidly outpacing ASEAN neighbors,” said Sean T. Ngo, CEO of VF Franchise Consulting, who is initiating a meeting with franchisors from different countries and local potential partners.

“A research that Nielsen had done recently found that more than 10 percent of Indonesian people eat outside the home one or more times every day, up 9 percent compared to other countries. An equally important variation affecting the development of grocery franchising is a popular trendamong citizens to work overtime because of a large number of responsibilities or to avoid traffic jams.

“Accordingly, the most convenient lunch option is to have a lunch more often outside the home and closer to work. This is confirmed by Nielsen research about Indonesians, who eat outside the home much more often than people in other countries.

These trends are driving Indonesia's foodservice industry growth of 7.06% based on compound annual growth rates from last year to 2023.

Indonesia has over 700 franchise companies operating in about 30,000 retail outlets. The majority of them work in the catering industry and are located in Java, in the provinces of West Java, Jakarta and East Java. About 450 out of 750 are franchisors from other countries and the rest are local brands.
