        "summary": "Indonesia's animation economy grew from about Rp240 billion in 2015 to Rp800 billion in 2025, marking a 3.3-fold increase with an average annual growth of 13%. Revenues from local animation IP jumped 280% in that period, as Indonesian studios shift from back-end service providers to homegrown content, with 299 original local character IPs owned by AINAKI. The success of Jumbo, produced by Visinema with over 10 million theatergoers, underlines the sector's potential; the government plans stronger IP protection, research-based policymaking, and IP-based financing to sustain momentum.",
