Indonesia's pulp and paper industry continues to grow significantly, primarily as a result of rising domestic demand for caustic soda flakes. Driven by both local and international demand, Indonesia's pulp and paper industry has shown endurance and growth. The processing sector of this business generates the majority of the nation's GDP and offers a large number of job opportunities. The industry increased at a yearly average rate (CAGR) of 1.83% from 2014 and 2021, concluding with 115 operational locations. Although there have been some improvements, such as a capacity reduction from 2017 to 2022, the industry is predicted to grow by 8% in the next few years.

Caustic soda flakes products are predicted to see a sharp rise in demand in Indonesia by 2032, driven by both local and foreign markets. Specifically, it is anticipated that the amount of pulp used for the production of writing, printing, and packaging paper will grow from 408 million metric tons in 2021 to over 476 million metric tons in 2032. It is projected that industry steps to integrate more efficient and sustainable manufacturing processes, along with the strong domestic and worldwide demand for paper goods, will propel future expansion. The capacity and hunger of the sector are rising, for instance, as a result of recent investments in the production of paperboard and programs to encourage recycling.
