Introduction
The year 2025 marks a turning point for Indonesia’s logistics industry. Rapid technological adoption, improved infrastructure, and evolving trade dynamics are reshaping how goods move across the archipelago. With projected growth between 5% to 12.5%, the sector is becoming one of the strongest contributors to Indonesia’s national economy.
Digital and AI-Driven Transformation
Technology is at the heart of this revolution. Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and automation systems are helping logistics companies enhance delivery precision, reduce fuel consumption, and optimize routes.
For example, companies like PT BGR Logistik Indonesia are implementing digital command centers to streamline supply chain visibility and coordination across Indonesia.
E-commerce giants and logistics startups, such as Shipper and Waresix, are also transforming warehouse systems with smart inventory tools and predictive analytics.
