        "summary": "A BPS survey reveals Indonesian consumers are increasingly prioritising experiential spending on transport, dining, and tourism over physical goods like clothing, driven by heightened mobility during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. Digital transactions, particularly QRIS, have surged, reflecting demographic shifts with 68% of the population under 35. This trend is critical for businesses and policymakers as household consumption remains the backbone of the domestic economy.",
        "content": "<p>Head of the Statistics Agency (BPS), Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti,\nsaid Indonesia\u2019s consumption patterns have shifted towards\nexperience-based spending, such as transport, restaurants, hotels, and\ntourism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis shows our consumption patterns are increasingly focused on\nexperiences rather than buying clothes,\u201d Amalia said in Jakarta on\nTuesday, 27 May 2026, according to Antara.<\/p>\n<p>She explained the change is evident in household consumption\ncomponents for Q1 2026, where the highest growth no longer comes from\nclothing and footwear but from transport, restaurants, and hotels.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, increased mobility during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr\n1447H contributed to this shift. BPS recorded a 13.14 per cent\nyear-on-year increase in domestic tourist travel in Q1 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Amalia detailed that domestic tourist data was calculated using\nmobile positioning data in collaboration with three telecom providers:\nTelkomsel, XL, and Indosat. The method tracks inter-regional movement\nwhile preserving individual privacy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe measure domestic tourists not through surveys but by mobility\npatterns recorded via mobile positioning data,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond travel patterns, consumption changes are also evident in\nincreasingly digital transactions. Electronic trade transactions grew\n27.8 per cent year-on-year and 6.19 per cent quarter-on-quarter in Q1\n2026, while QRIS transactions rose 111.94 per cent year-on-year.<\/p>\n<p>Amalia attributed the shift in consumption and transaction patterns\nto Indonesia\u2019s demographic structure increasingly dominated by younger\ngenerations. According to the BPS Intercensal Population Survey released\non 5 May 2026, Millennials and Gen Z make up nearly 49 per cent of the\npopulation. Adding post-Gen Z under 12 years (19.65 per cent), 68 per\ncent of Indonesians are from these youth groups.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is why our consumption patterns have changed compared to the\npast,\u201d Amalia said, adding the shift is crucial for businesses and\npolicymakers as household consumption remains the main pillar of the\ndomestic economy.<\/p>",
