This statistic shows the degree of urbanization in Indonesia from 2013 to 2023. Urbanization means the share of urban population in the total population of a country. In 2023, 58.57 percent of Indonesia's total population lived in urban areas and cities. Indonesia's urban and rural population In 2010, 51 percent of the world’s population lived in cities while 49 percent of the world’s population lived in rural areas. Indonesia is a prime example for this almost equal distribution: In 2010, for example, Indonesia’s population was half urban and half rural. While urbanization has been slower in Indonesia than in many other countries around the world, the urbanization process is now progressing rather quickly. The largest city in Indonesia is Jakarta, which is located on the island of Java. It is also the capital and home to close to 10 million of Indonesia’s 273 million inhabitants. Three of the nation’s other large urban areas include Surabaya, Bandung and Bekasi, and are also located on the island of Java. Interestingly, in Indonesia there is a strong correlation between agricultural land, the location of volcanoes and population distribution: Most of the country's active volcanos are located on the island of Java and it is also there where the majority of the population lives and where the agricultural soils are best. Indonesian’s agricultural and urban lands are still somewhat linked spatially. Furthermore, the agricultural sector of the economy is still strong, and around 13 percent of Indonesia's GDP pertains to the agricultural sector. Many people who live in urban regions often go back to the rural region where they come from, and the link to rural agricultural lifestyles remain strong.

The Indonesian real estate market, valued at $64.78 million in 2025, is projected to experience robust growth, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.82% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is driven by several key factors. A burgeoning population, particularly in rapidly urbanizing areas like Jakarta and Bali, fuels significant demand for residential properties. Furthermore, increasing foreign investment, coupled with government initiatives promoting infrastructure development and affordable housing schemes, is stimulating the market. The rise of e-commerce and a growing middle class are bolstering the retail and office segments. However, challenges exist, including potential interest rate fluctuations impacting borrowing costs and navigating regulatory complexities associated with land acquisition and construction permits. The market's segmentation by property type (residential, office, retail, hospitality, industrial) and city (Jakarta, Bali, Rest of Indonesia) allows for a nuanced understanding of growth patterns within specific niches. Major players like PT Intiland Development Tbk, Tokyu Land Indonesia, and Agung Podomoro Land are actively shaping the market landscape, competing for dominance in diverse segments and locations. The continued expansion of Indonesia's economy and its growing reputation as a Southeast Asian investment hub are expected to contribute to the long-term positive trajectory of this dynamic real estate sector. The diverse nature of the Indonesian real estate market presents both opportunities and risks. While the residential sector consistently dominates, the growth of the office and retail sectors reflects Indonesia's economic diversification. Strategic investments in logistics and manufacturing are bolstering the industrial segment, creating a need for specialized warehouse and factory spaces. Bali’s tourism sector contributes to the significant demand for hospitality properties, while Jakarta remains the center of commercial activity, driving office and retail market growth. Effective risk management strategies, including thorough due diligence regarding land titles and regulatory compliance, are crucial for navigating potential challenges. Future market performance will depend on maintaining economic stability, prudent government policies supporting sustainable development, and investor confidence in Indonesia's long-term growth prospects.

A megacity regionNot only did Japan and India have the largest cities throughout the Asia-Pacific region but they were among the three most populated cities worldwide in 2023. Interestingly, over half on the world’s megacities were situated in the Asia-Pacific region. However, being home to more than half of the world’s population, it does not seem surprising that by 2025 it is expected that more than two thirds of the megacities across the globe will be located in the Asia Pacific region. Other megacities are also expected to emerge within the Asia-Pacific region throughout the next decade. There have even been suggestions that Indonesia’s Jakarta and its conurbation will overtake Greater Tokyo in terms of population size by 2030. Increasing populationsIncreased populations in megacities can be down to increased economic activity. As more countries across the Asia-Pacific region have made the transition from agriculture to industry, the population has adjusted accordingly. Thus, more regions have experienced higher shares of urban populations. However, as many cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Seoul have an aging population, this may have an impact on their future population sizes, with these Asian regions estimated to have significant shares of the population being over 65 years old by 2035.
