Indonesia's Industrial Investment Sector Remains Attractive; SSIA Optimistic on Growth Prospects
PT Suryacipta Swadaya (Suryacipta), a subsidiary of PT Surya Semesta Internusa Tbk, remains optimistic about the growth of Indonesia’s national manufacturing sector given the sustained high level of investor interest in deploying capital in the country.
“Based on our business visit to Hong Kong in early March, investors are enthusiastic about seeing Indonesia as their expansion destination in Southeast Asia. We are seeing a shift in interest towards high-value-added industries that require infrastructure certainty,” said General Manager Sales & Tenant Relation Binawati Dewi, speaking in Jakarta on Friday, 13 March 2026.
Dewi disclosed that West Java continues to dominate as the primary destination for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). This FDI trend is reflected in the operations of the company’s two industrial zones: Suryacipta City of Industry and Subang Smartpolitan.
In Karawang, Suryacipta City of Industry continues to demonstrate stable performance in supporting tenant productivity.
“Currently, Suryacipta City of Industry Karawang has entered the maturity phase with industrial land availability now remaining below 10 hectares. This demonstrates the high market absorption and investor confidence to continue operating in our zone,” said Dewi.
Dewi explained that Suryacipta’s primary growth focus is now on Subang Smartpolitan. The zone has become home to international tenants, including a global electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer.
The Subang Smartpolitan zone is also directly benefiting from the National Strategic Project (PSN), particularly the Patimban toll access road, which will have a direct toll exit into Subang Smartpolitan.
According to her, the connectivity to the industrial zone is driving increased interest from investors from South Korea and China, as well as Indonesian domestic companies.
“When you go there directly, the progress is very evident. The buildings are completed, and even the offices are already standing tall,” she said.
Beyond the automotive sector, interest in the Subang Smartpolitan zone is also coming from various other sectors including garment manufacturing, shoe components, metal products, and data centres.
