Export Growth and Market Outlook Indonesia’s furniture and handicraft sector is expected to generate over US$2.1 billion in furniture exports in 2025, plus around US$800 million from handicrafts. While global trade disputes and import tariffs present challenges, demand for outdoor furniture, teak wood, and rattan products remains strong. 2. Focus on Materials and Sustainability International buyers increasingly require products made from certified legal wood (SVLK, FSC) and sustainably managed natural rattan. Eco-friendly weaving materials and modular designs give Indonesian manufacturers a strong competitive advantage. 3. Challenges and Opportunities Price fluctuations of raw materials, stricter import regulations, and logistics remain the main challenges. However, opportunities emerge through custom furniture orders, niche market products, and the use of digital technology (AR/VR) to showcase collections. 4. Government Support and Industry Future The Indonesian government supports the sector with machinery incentives, workforce training, and export facilitation. Manufacturers are encouraged to blend local craftsmanship with global design trends, ensuring compliance with all export documentation. Conclusion With world-class craftsmanship, certified materials, and a growing reputation in global trade, Indonesia’s furniture industry is well-positioned to thrive. Companies that embrace sustainability, customization, and innovation will lead the export market in the years ahead.
