Indonesia's imports of surgical masks from China have steadily increased over the past five years. The volume, which stood at 16.7 tons (39% of total imports) in 2014, drastically rose to 49.3 tons (71%) in 2015. China's share of imports has remained around 90% over the last three years.

The coronavirus outbreak originating in China has caused the price of surgical masks in Indonesia to skyrocket. On several online shopping platforms, prices have reached hundreds of thousands to millions of rupiah, compared to the previous price of Rp 30,000-40,000 for 50 masks. This increase is due to surging public demand in anticipation of the coronavirus spread.
