Research and Markets: Understanding Indonesia's Regional Health Markets

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/428gm2/understanding) has announced the addition of the "Understanding Indonesia's Regional Health Markets" report to their offering.

Often overshadowed by its larger Asian neighbours such as China and Japan, Indonesia is the largest economy in the ASEAN community. With a young and fast growing population, Indonesia's challenge is to ensure that the benefits of its rapidly growing economy are more effectively utilised in providing a good level of healthcare to its 237 million inhabitants.

Key Facts

- The Republic of Indonesia is an archipelago of over 17,500 islands (around 6,000 or 34% of which are inhabited) located in Southeast Asia, with a total land area of over 1.9 million square kilometres, which makes it the 15th larges country in this respect.

- Indonesia is an emerging economy that is expected to grow at a relatively strong real GDP of 5.9% in 2012 which should see it reach a total value of US$915.1 billion. This makes it the largest economy in the ASEAN region.

- Indonesia has a largely young population; only 5.0% of the total was aged 65 or over in 2010. This is considered low compared to most advanced economies but similar to other fast growing and developing countries in South East Asia.

Indonesia's economy may have tripled over the last 10 years but low levels of investment in healthcare are still leaving much unmet clinical need, especially in the poorer rural areas.

Any assessment of Indonesia must consider the geographic diversity of the country and the economic and demographic dynamics that are influencing the development of the health market.
