Indonesia’s furniture and handicraft industry is gaining international attention and is considered to have strong potential to become a new force in the global market. The global furniture market is valued at around USD 201 billion annually, while Indonesia’s furniture and craft exports reached approximately USD 2.44 billion in 2023 and about USD 2.37 billion by November 2024. Although the current share remains relatively small, the large global market presents significant opportunities for Indonesia to expand its export performance.

Indonesia possesses several competitive advantages, including abundant tropical raw materials such as wood and rattan, as well as long-standing craftsmanship traditions that create unique designs with strong cultural identity. The Indonesia International Furniture Expo (IFEX), held on March 5–8 at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) BSD City, has become an important platform connecting Indonesian furniture producers with international buyers. With an exhibition area of about 85,000 square meters, IFEX has grown into one of the largest furniture exhibitions in Southeast Asia and serves as a strategic gateway for expanding global market access for Indonesian products.
