Indonesia's manufacturing activity expanded at a faster pace in January as new orders and output picked up, according to S&P Global on Monday.

The S&P Global Indonesia Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index rose to 52.6 from 51.2 in December 2025, marking a sixth straight month of expansion.

New orders increased for a sixth consecutive month, driven mainly by domestic demand, while export sales declined for a fifth month.

Output rose for a third month and at the second-fastest pace in nearly a year, prompting firms to lift purchasing and inventory levels. Backlogs of work also increased, signalling capacity pressures.

Employment slipped marginally, the first decline since July 2025.

Business confidence strengthened to a 10-month high, with firms expecting demand to remain firm over the coming year.
