Indonesia Drones Market Trends and Drivers

Demand is underpinned by accelerating military modernization under President Prabowo Subianto's defense strategy, which is fueling substantial procurement of advanced unmanned combat and surveillance platforms. In February 2025, Turkish drone manufacturer Baykar signed a joint venture agreement with Indonesian defense company Republikorp to establish a domestic drone manufacturing facility, reinforcing Indonesia's position as an emerging center for unmanned systems production in Southeast Asia.

The market's structural differentiator is the rapid expansion of agricultural drone applications, with drone-as-a-service models enabling smallholder farmers across Java, Sumatra, and Kalimantan to access precision spraying, crop monitoring, and plantation management technologies without steep initial investments, supporting national food security objectives.

A third driver is deepening regulatory clarity paired with rising domestic manufacturing capability. Indonesia's Directorate General of Civil Aviation continues to clarify commercial drone operating frameworks, while local companies pursue local content certification for indigenous platforms, improving eligibility for government and public sector projects and reducing the country's historical import dependency.

Government Schemes and National Defense Initiatives Driving Demand

• Indonesia-Turkey ANKA Drone Procurement and Technology Transfer: In 2024, Indonesia signed a USD 300 Million deal with Turkish Aerospace Industries to procure 12 ANKA drones, with six units built in Turkey and six assembled locally by Indonesian aerospace firm PTDI, including technology transfer arrangements to build domestic capability.
• Baykar-Republikorp Domestic Manufacturing Joint Venture: Announced in February 2025, this joint venture between Turkish drone manufacturer Baykar and Indonesian defense company Republikorp aims to establish a drone manufacturing facility within Indonesia, supporting the government's defense industrial self-sufficiency objectives.
• Rising National Defense Budget: Indonesia's 2025 defense budget rose to approximately IDR 165.2 Trillion, creating a strong fiscal foundation for continued military drone acquisition across the Air Force, Army, and Navy.
• Directorate General of Civil Aviation Regulatory Reforms: Regulatory reforms clarifying commercial drone operating frameworks are enhancing investor confidence and enabling broader market participation across logistics, infrastructure inspection, and agricultural service applications.
