Indonesia Social Media Trend 2nd Semester of 2019 – Jakpat Survey Report

Based on data from APJII, penetration of Internet users in Indonesia is 64.8% or around 171.17 million people. Most of them access the internet to open social media, either through websites, mobile web, or mobile apps. Seeing the huge potential of active social media users, small businesses and large companies use this platform to advertise their brands, products, or the company itself to reach current and potential customers. Many small businesses / large companies use social media influencers as their brand, product, or company ambassadors to achieve their goals. They have a role as key opinion leaders for users to get quality product recommendations.
