Asosiasi Gas Industri Indonesia (AGII) Fully Empowers IG Indonesia 2026 as Event Preparations Accelerate

Recently, the organizing committee of the Industrial Gases & Energy Chain Exhibition Indonesia 2026 (IG Indonesia 2026) held an online meeting with the Asosiasi Gas Industri Indonesia (AGII). The meeting was attended by Ms. Gati Wibawaningsih, Secretary General of AGII, Mr. Jerry Darmawan, Assistant to the President of AGII, and Mr. Frank Xu from the organizing committee. Both parties finalized key logistical and promotional details, including government and enterprise invitations, as well as concurrent seminars, putting the event preparations into top gear.

As the authoritative industry organization in Indonesia's industrial gases sector, AGII oversees industry standards, energy transition planning, and serves as a bridge between the government and enterprise sectors. During the meeting, both parties agreed that Indonesia has become the primary energy transition market in Southeast Asia, with immense development potential. Indonesia boasts a population of 276 million (4th largest globally) and stands as the largest economy in Southeast Asia, with a total estimated energy transition investment of USD 2.4 trillion between 2022 and 2060. Indonesia's current energy mix remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels at 84%, with renewables accounting for only 12%, creating an urgent demand for transition. Backed by policy roadmaps targeting 23% renewable energy by 2030 and Net Zero Carbon by 2060, sectors such as industrial gases, hydrogen energy, and LNG are entering a massive blue-ocean market, urgently requiring professional exhibitions to facilitate technical exchanges and business matchmaking.

Two core initiatives were established during this meeting: First, both parties will jointly issue official invitation letters to Indonesian energy and industrial regulatory authorities, inviting senior government officials to attend the exhibition. Second, they will co-organize concurrent industry seminars focusing on topics such as energy transition, gases safety management, and Sino-foreign industrial cooperation.

Mr. Frank Xu from the organizing committee noted that leveraging AGII’s authoritative local network, the exhibition will streamline channels between government and enterprise sectors, helping Chinese gases equipment and technical enterprises expand into Southeast Asia to meet local energy upgrade demands. Moving forward, both parties will collaborate closely on dispatching invitation letters, preparing seminars, and mobilizing trade visitors.

Indonesia's industrial gases market has shifted from a traditional industrial support market into an expansion phase driven by resource deep-processing and industrial parks. Short-term growth is fueled by bulk gases demand from nickel, stainless steel, and copper smelting, while medium-to-long-term growth will be driven by high-purity gases and on-site supply requirements from battery materials, electronics manufacturing, hydrogen, and renewable energy sectors—propelling continuous demand for oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. Indonesia's industrial gases market is primarily comprised of local leading enterprises and several international industrial gases majors.

The following industrial parks are set to become key growth markets in Indonesia:

• Morowali (IMIP): The world's largest nickel smelting industrial cluster, with ongoing demand for Air Separation Unit (ASU) expansion.

• Weda Bay (IWIP): Densely populated with HPAL battery material projects, offering strong potential for new ASU construction.

• Gresik (Manyar): Continuous development in copper smelting, petrochemicals, and port-adjacent industries.

• Cilegon: Indonesia's traditional steel and petrochemical hub, concentrating large-scale on-site gases supply projects.

• Batang (KITB): A flagship new industrial park spearheaded by the Indonesian government, where future electronics, renewable energy, and automotive industries will drive industrial gases demand growth.

The future market offers immense potential and expansive growth for large-scale ASUs, on-site gases supply, and cryogenic storage and transportation equipment.

IG Indonesia 2026 brings together resources across the entire supply chain. Empowered by the deep support of AGII and direct channels to government and business sectors, the event's industry coverage, professional depth, and institutional engagement are significantly heightened. Leveraging Southeast Asia's largest energy transition market, IG Indonesia 2026 is poised to inject new momentum into regional gases and energy industry collaboration.
