The Indonesian market, valued at just US$198 million in 2008, remains small, this despite it having the fourth largest population in the world. That said, the market is expected to grow at a solid 6.5% per annum in the medium term reaching US$272 million in 2013, bringing it on par with Singapore.
Indonesia remains one of the poorest countries in South East Asia. The country lags behind in many areas of healthcare provision and the rupiah has devalued strongly over the years.
The weak currency and cheap labour costs have made it an attractive location for manufacturing activities. A base for export trade for multinational companies, exports in recent years rose as domestic production increased, particularly contact lenses which represented over a third of the total, as well as electromedical equipment and hearing aids which also feature heavily.
Public funding for healthcare is low, estimated at around US$4.8 billion in 2009 and the country continues to rely on international aid. Despite the present administration placing more emphasis on healthcare, funding, insufficient numbers of health professionals and bureaucratic problems are hampering development.
There is a marked disparity in the standard of healthcare between rural and urban areas. The capital city Jakarta enjoys relatively good levels of primary care as well as a range of modern private specialist facilities, while healthcare coverage in remote regions tends to be insufficient.
The bulk of the Indonesian medical device market is supplied by imports, worth US$157.2 million in 2006. Indonesia only produces a small number of low-tech medical items, such as surgical gloves, bandages, orthopaedic aids and hospital furniture. However, with the exception of 2000, the country has been a net exporter since the late 1990s.
