The import of antibiotics to Indonesia has witnessed several fluctuations over the past decade. From 2013 to 2017, the value showed a notable decline, with occasional temporary recoveries. The trend reversed significantly from 2018, reaching a peak in 2020 and continuing an upward trajectory until 2023. In 2023, the import value stood at $153.17 million, an increase of 2.19% year-on-year compared to 2022. Overall, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2018 to 2023 was 1.65%.

Future forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a continued but slowed growth in antibiotic imports with a projected five-year CAGR of 1.47% and an overall growth rate of 7.59% by 2028. This suggests a steady but moderate increase in the demand for antibiotics in Indonesia.

Future trends to watch for:

Changes in regulatory policies affecting imports.
Economic conditions and their impact on healthcare spending.
Local production capacities and potential shifts to domestic antibiotic production.
Emerging health crises or pandemics influencing antibiotic demand.
