Indonesia’s Export Growth Brings IP Strategy into Focus
By February 2025, Indonesia’s customs and excise revenue reached IDR 52.6 trillion—a 2.1% year-on-year increase—driven largely by a 92.9% surge in export duties. This signals strong export momentum – particularly in textiles, electronics, and consumer goods – despite global uncertainty.
But with growth comes risk.
As exports rise so does manufacturing activity. With global trade realigning, businesses should reassess their IP strategies for Indonesia: not just as a market, but as a manufacturing base. As a general rule, any IP that is being used, that will be used in future, or which the owner wishes to prevent third parties from using should be secured. Now is the time to strengthen protections across trademarks, designs, and patents.
