Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world in 2020, the number of workers in the information and communication (infokom) sector in Indonesia has continued to increase.

The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) estimates that the workforce in the infokom sector had reached 1.09 million people in February 2022, marking a 1.3% (yoy) increase from the previous year.

This increase occurred in line with the rapid growth of the infokom business during the pandemic. The pandemic forced people to use infokom technology more for school, work, entertainment, and online shopping from home.

The gross value added from the infokom sector grew by 7.14% (yoy) to Rp181.72 trillion in the first quarter of 2022, according to BPS. This growth rate was the fastest after the growth rate of the transportation and warehousing sector.

Google, Temasek, and Bain & Co project that the gross merchandise value (GMV) of Indonesia's digital economy will grow by 20% between 2021 and 2025.
