Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) processed by the Mandiri Institute shows that the number of middle classes in Indonesia will continue to decline in 2025.

The figure, from 47.9 million people in 2024 to 46.7 million in 2025, represents a decrease of 1.1 million people or 2.5%.

The research team calculated that the decline in the number of middle classes had already occurred in 2024 compared to 2023, with a decrease of 400,000 people or 4.5 million people.

"This indicates that the pressure on the middle class is still ongoing," said the Mandiri Institute on its official Instagram page on Friday (6/2/2026).

According to the research team, this is also reflected in the fact that the growth in middle-class consumption was only 4.1%, lower than the national per capita consumption growth of 4.6%.

Here's the number of Indonesian residents by class in 2024-2025:

Poor

2024: 25.2 million people

2025: 23.9 million people

Change: -1.4 million people

Vulnerable

2024: 67.7 million people

2025: 67.9 million people

Change: +0.2 million people

Aspiring middle class

2024: 137.5 million people

2025: 142 million people

Change: +4.5 million people

Middle class

2024: 47.9 million people

2025: 46.7 million people

Change: -1.1 million people

Upper class

2024: 1.1 million people

2025: 1.2 million people

Change: 0.1 million people.

The division of economic classes follows the World Bank's definition, based on per capita monthly expenditure relative to the poverty line.

This means that the class size is not measured by income, but by how many times a person's expenditure exceeds the poverty line. The details are:

Poor: < 1x poverty line
Vulnerable: 1–1.5x poverty line
Aspiring middle class (AMC): 1.5–3.5x poverty line
Middle class: 3.5–17x poverty line
Upper class: >17x poverty line.
