Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) processed by the Ministry of Creative Economy (Ekraf) shows that the number of workers in Indonesia's creative economy sector has consistently increased from 2020 to October 2025.

In 2020, the number of creative workers recorded was 19.39 million people.

The figure then skyrocketed by 12.94% or 2.51 million people to 21.9 million workers in 2021.

This achievement was the largest surge in a five-year period, presumably due to the gradual recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

After that, the increase was not as significant as in 2021, but it still steadily increased.

In the latest data as of October 2025, the number of workers in this sector reached 27.4 million people.
