Over the past five years, the percentage of Indonesian households accessing the internet has steadily increased. However, computer and laptop ownership has shown a downward trend.
According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), in 2016 only 47.22% of Indonesian households accessed the internet. This figure steadily rose to 74.55% by 2020.
Meanwhile, the percentage of households owning a computer/laptop was recorded at 19.14% in 2016. This figure then decreased to 18.83% in 2020.
The percentage of households owning a computer/laptop is significantly lower than the percentage of households accessing the internet, as shown in the graph.
Citing the BPS, this is attributed to the increasing ease of internet access through various media, such as the use of Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) or hotspots provided by offices/schools, and internet access via mobile phones.
