The 9th Forklift Indonesia 2025, scheduled from May 21-23, 2025, at Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo) Kemayoran, Jakarta, Indonesia, is set to be a significant event in the logistics and material handling industry. This exhibition will be held alongside Transport & Logistic Indonesia 2025, Con-Mine 2025, and IIBT 2025, making it the largest gathering of its kind in ASEAN. The event is expected to attract over 15,000 visitors and 150 exhibitors, marking a significant expansion from previous years.

Indonesia, with its population of over 279 million and a growing economy, is driving the demand for efficient logistics solutions. The country's manufacturing industry has shown strong growth, with a GDP increase of 5.1% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in the previous year. Additionally, the purchasing manager's index (PMI) for Indonesia's manufacturing sector reached a high of 52.9 in April 2024, indicating robust business activity.

The exhibition is particularly relevant due to the expanding logistics and warehousing sectors in Indonesia. The growth in e-commerce and manufacturing industries has significantly driven the forklift market growth. According to Supply Chain Indonesia (SCI), the contribution from transportation and warehouse sectors is projected to grow by 14.16% with an estimated value of US$88.6 billion in 2024.

Testimonials from previous attendees highlight the event's effectiveness as a platform for business promotion and networking.
