The import of plastic table and kitchen ware to Indonesia varied significantly between 2013 and 2023. Despite fluctuations, such as notable drops in value in 2014 and 2015, and a dramatic rise in 2016, the trend has seen periods of growth and decline. Recent historical values peaked in 2018 before diminishing and then recovering by the year 2022 to stand at approximately 4.775 million kilograms in 2023, reflecting a modest year-on-year increase of 1.31%. The last five years saw an average variation per year (CAGR) of -1.89%. Future forecasts indicate a sustained uptrend with a 5.33% growth rate over the subsequent 5 years, albeit at a modest 1.04% CAGR, reaching around 5.084 million kilograms by 2028.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential policy changes impacting import regulations and tariffs.
- Evolving consumer preferences towards sustainable and eco-friendly products.
- Fluctuations in the global plastic supply chain due to geopolitical events.
- Technological advancements in material sciences reducing the reliance on traditional plastics.
