Based on research by We Are Social and Hootsuite released in January 2019, Indonesian social media users reached 150 million, or 56% of the total population. This figure is a 20% increase from the previous survey. Meanwhile, mobile social media users (via gadgets) reached 130 million, or approximately 48% of the population.

The large population, rapid growth of internet and telephone users, presents significant potential for the national digital economy. As a result, e-commerce, online transportation, online stores, and other internet-based businesses have emerged in Indonesia. This will become a driving force in the Southeast Asian digital economy.

Furthermore, the Palapa Ring project, targeted for completion this year, will further increase internet penetration, currently at 56%, and social media usage in Indonesia. Palapa Ring is a 4G fiber optic network with speeds up to 30 Mbps and a length of over 12,000 km, stretching from Sumatra to Papua.
