Imports of Raw Materials and Capital Goods Surge in April 2026, Here's the List!

Indonesia recorded an increase in imports in April 2026, valued at US$19.21 billion, up 1.51% from the same month last year at US$18.92 billion. This condition resulted in total imports from January to April 2026 amounting to US$61.30 billion, a growth of 10.05% compared to the same period in 2025 at US$55.70 billion. “In April 2026, total imports were US$19.21 billion, up 1.51% from April 2025,” said Deputy for Distribution and Services Statistics at BPS, Ateng Hartono, during a press conference in Jakarta on Monday (4/5/2026). The rise in imports in April 2026 was triggered by imports of both oil and gas (migas) and non-oil and gas goods. Non-migas imports increased by 1.54% from US$15.79 billion to US$16.04 billion, while migas imports rose 1.34% from US$3.13 billion to US$3.17 billion. The increase in non-migas imports was mainly due to a 4.98% rise in capital goods from US$3.70 billion to US$3.89 billion. Similarly, raw materials or auxiliaries increased by 2.15% from US$13.48 billion to US$13.77 billion. Meanwhile, imports of consumer goods were the only category to decline in April 2026 by 10.81%, from US$1.74 billion to US$1.55 billion. “The three main non-migas commodities from January to April 2026 were mechanical equipment machines, electrical equipment machines, and plastics and plastic products. The import value of these three commodities accounted for 37.77% of total non-migas imports,” said Ateng. Indonesia’s imports up to the end of April 2026 were still dominated by China with a share of 41.56% of total imports, followed by Australia at 5.94%, Japan at 5.47%, ASEAN at 14.90%, the European Union at 6.34%, and others at 25.79%.
