Minister of Trade: Indonesian Furniture Exports Reach IDR 36 Trillion

Minister of Trade Budi Santoso revealed that Indonesia is the 19th largest supplier of furniture and crafts in the world. The export trend of furniture and crafts in January-November reached US$ 2.22 billion or equivalent to IDR 36 trillion. This was revealed at the launch of the International Furniture and Craft Fair Indonesia (IFFINA) 2025, at the Ministry of Trade, Thursday (1/23/2025).

“The export value of furniture and crafts in Indonesia from January to November 2024 reached US$ 2.22 billion with the main destination countries being the United States, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium,” said Budi.

The growth trend of Indonesian furniture and crafts in 2023 reached US$ 2.46 billion with an annual growth trend of 2.62% in the last 5 years. According to Budi, world demand for furniture and crafts is still quite promising, where the world demand trend continues to grow positively by 15.09%.

“Specifically for furniture products, the global market size reached US$ 770.42 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 925.46 billion in 2029,” he explained.

On the same occasion, the Indonesian Furniture and Craft Industry Association (ASMINDO) said that in 2024, the furniture industry again contributed positive value to the national economy, especially in the export sector, increasing by 4.7% compared to 2023.

Starting from this optimism, Asmindo will again hold an annual event for furniture and design industry players, namely IFFINA 2025. This year’s IFFINA event will be presented differently from before by raising the theme “A Showcase of Indonesia’s Finest Furniture and Homedecor”, which of course is expected to present the best products from the furniture, craft, design, and homedecor industries.

For this reason, IFFINA+ is here with the aim of meeting the needs of the domestic and international markets, supporting export growth, while opening up great opportunities for the project sector in Indonesia.

“The hope of business actors is that the government can provide incentives to attract investors to build factories that are able to produce mass products and supporting raw materials such as hinges and drawer rails in Indonesia, so that technology transfer can occur. Thus, together we can support the growth of the national furniture industry,” said Dedy.
