In the Indonesia commodity plastics market, the import trend showed a notable growth rate of 13.18% from 2023 to 2024, contrasting with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -1.23% over the period of 2020-2024. This shift in momentum could be attributed to evolving demand patterns or adjustments in trade policies influencing market dynamics.

The Indonesian commodity plastics market plays a pivotal role in the country`s industrial landscape. It encompasses a wide range of polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride. These versatile materials serve as the backbone for diverse industries including packaging, construction, and automotive. With a rapidly growing consumer base and increasing urbanization, the demand for commodity plastics in Indonesia is on the rise.
The commodity plastics market in Indonesia is driven by the broad spectrum of industries that rely on these versatile materials. Commodity plastics, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, are widely used in packaging, consumer goods, and automotive applications. The growth of the manufacturing sector and the increasing disposable income of the population contribute to the steady demand for commodity plastics.
A key challenge in the commodity plastics market is addressing the environmental impact of these plastics. Increased awareness of plastic pollution and the need for recycling and sustainable solutions create challenges for manufacturers in terms of eco-friendly product development, waste management, and complying with regulations aimed at reducing single-use plastics.
The Indonesia commodity plastics market has witnessed both challenges and opportunities, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. While there has been an increased demand for packaging materials due to the surge in e-commerce and food delivery services, the market also experienced disruptions in the supply chain. This was largely due to the restrictions on international trade and logistical challenges. As the country adapts to the new normal, the commodity plastics market in Indonesia is expected to rebound, driven by the continued growth of the e-commerce sector.
Indonesia is a rapidly growing market for various plastics and polymer-based products. In the commodity plastics market, key players such as PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical Tbk and PT Lotte Chemical Titan Tbk dominate the landscape. These companies are significant contributors to the production and distribution of essential plastics used in various industries across the country.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
