#### Q: What is the largest commercial risk facing graphics card suppliers?

**A:** The largest risk is the combination of import dependence, exchange-rate volatility, component inflation and uneven channel sell-through. Indonesia depends on imported graphics cards and related components, while substantial inventory enters through the Greater Jakarta logistics corridor. The broader PC market's 2026 correction can create excess stock, discounting and slower cash conversion. Memory and storage cost increases also raise retail prices, potentially delaying purchases among price-sensitive consumers and shifting demand toward older generations or used cards.

**Data used:** 36.87% of import value handled through Tanjung Priok in 2024; 22.9% forecast PC shipment decline in 2026

**So what:** Operators need tighter procurement cycles, currency-risk controls and transparent regional inventory visibility.

#### Q: How does Indonesia compare with other Southeast Asian graphics card markets?

**A:** Indonesia is estimated to be the largest market among Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines, primarily because of its population and absolute PC installed base. Malaysia has higher purchasing power and internet penetration, while Vietnam and the Philippines provide faster growth potential from lower market penetration. Indonesia therefore combines scale with moderate growth rather than the highest expenditure per user. Its strategic advantage is the ability to support national e-commerce distribution and multiple urban gaming, education and creator clusters.

**Data used:** Indonesia estimated at USD 192 million in 2025; 73% internet penetration in 2024

**So what:** Regional brands should use Indonesia as a scale market while tailoring price tiers and logistics to provincial demand differences.

#### Q: Which demand driver will have the greatest impact on future sales?

**A:** Gaming and enthusiast upgrades will remain the largest demand driver, but the most important incremental growth will come from higher-performance creator and artificial intelligence workloads. Video editing, streaming, 3D rendering, architecture, engineering and local model inference require greater processing capacity and video memory than standard office computing. Indonesia's digital economy and government-backed games ecosystem also expand the number of businesses and professionals that can monetize graphics-intensive workflows, reducing dependence on purely discretionary gaming purchases.

**Data used:** Indonesia digital economy of approximately USD 90 billion in 2024; 72.78% internet access in 2024

**So what:** Vendors should market performance through measurable workflow productivity rather than relying only on gaming frame-rate positioning.
