The number of traditional markets in Indonesia reaches 14,000 units.

Markets serve as a platform for community trade, forming the foundation of a region's economy. However, the growth of modern markets and the digital sector, managed by the private sector, has reduced the existence of traditional markets.

Traditional markets provide a venue for farmers and fishermen to sell their produce directly and are typically managed by the Central Government, Regional Governments, private entities, State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), and Regional-Owned Enterprises (ROEs). The Working Cabinet's target to enhance the role of traditional markets is to revitalize 5,000 traditional markets older than 25 years.

According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), there are 14,182 traditional markets in Indonesia, still dominating compared to 1,131 modern stores and 708 shopping malls. Currently, the highest concentration of traditional markets is in East Java (1,823 units), Central Java (1,482 units), and South Sulawesi (940 units). Conversely, the regions with the fewest traditional markets are Bangka Belitung Islands (54 units), Riau Islands (55 units), and North Kalimantan (57 units).
