Market Dynamics
Indonesia's mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) market is expected to become a major player in the transport sector in the coming years, as the market continues to develop, invest, and expand. Currently, Indonesia is one of the fastest-growing countries in the world and it is expected that the country will witness a substantial growth in demand for MaaS services due to increasing urbanization and rising incomes.In Indonesia, the MaaS market currently consists of three main services: public transport, shared mobility services, and traditional mobility services. Public transportation is the most widely used system in the country, with the majority of commuters relying on this mode of transport. Shared Mobility Services, such as shared taxis, shared cars, and bike-sharing, are also increasing in popularity as they offer a more affordable and convenient form of travel. Finally, traditional mobility services, such as private cars, are available to those who can afford them.The Government of Indonesia is actively encouraging the development of MaaS services to enhance transportation operations and to reduce congestion in the cities. In 2018, the Government granted permits to four major MaaS operators including Grab, Go-Jek, Uber, and Blue Bird, allowing them to operate across the country.
This has resulted in further investment into MaaS services, with a number of new players entering the market.In terms of infrastructure, the Government of Indonesia has implemented policies to improve the country's road network and public transit system. There have been significant investments into the construction of roads, rail lines, and public transit buses. There has also been a focus on developing bike lanes and pedestrian pathways. These improvements in infrastructure are expected to increase the number of people using MaaS services in Indonesia.The Government is also looking to introduce a MaaS platform, which is expected to be operational in 2020. This platform will allow users to book and pay for various services all within one app, making it easier for Indonesians to access MaaS services and integrate it into their daily lives.Overall, the outlook for the MaaS market in Indonesia is positive and there is significant potential for further growth in the coming years. With government policies encouraging the development of the market, new technologies being implemented, and an increase in spending on infrastructure, the MaaS market in Indonesia is expected to thrive and become a major player in the country's transportation sector.
