The results showed that 24.1% of respondents considered market developments the primary driving factor, and 22% attributed them to technological advancements.

“Technological developments are a new source of optimism, along with the acceleration of digitalization and efforts to improve business efficiency,” stated the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in its Q1 2026 Business Pulse report.
