Indonesia has always been a strong player in the global apparel industry. However, with the rise of China in the last 2 decades, the country could not effectively compete with China and had not been doing so well with many garment units closing down and fabric companies also facing a lot of problems.
However, the US-China trade war has again given a window of opportunity to Indonesian companies to fight back and to re-establish themselves.

Â
If we look at the above chart, we will find that Eratex , Sai Apparel Industries, and Daehan Global dominate the export of denim from Indonesia with over 50% of total exports. The rest of the share is divided into a number of smaller companies. This shows that the export market is concentrated in the hands of a few exporters who are much larger than others and have a varied customer base.
Besides, we can also infer that the country is doing relatively well in this pandemic times with a decent export figure of over 4.5 million pcs of jeans/ denim apparel during this time. The country depends a lot on the US market and though it also has exposure in Japan and some other nearby countries. But we need to continuously check how the exports from this country perform in the coming months and the effect of COVID will be much better visible.
