Despite the ongoing pandemic, several top companies in Indonesia continue to thrive. Entrepreneurs could learn from these tremendously successful organizations and question their strategies for surviving the crisis.

This article will take you on a quick tour of Indonesia’s top companies based on their market capitalization.

What is the Biggest Company in Indonesia?

Determining the “biggest” company in Indonesia involves considering various factors, such as market capitalization, representing the total value of a company’s stock.

Defining what “biggest” means in this context is essential, as other companies may be deemed more significant based on revenue or employee count.

Therefore, while market capitalization is a key indicator, other metrics must be considered to comprehensively assess companies’ prominence in Indonesia.

According to Investopedia, market capitalization is defined as how much a company is worth on the stock market. Consequently, companies are often categorized into three groups based on their market capitalization:

  • Large-Cap (USD 10 billion or more)
  • Mid-Cap (USD 2 billion to USD 10 billion)
  • Small-cap (USD 300 million to USD 2 billion)

Market capitalization is a significant concept as it is one of the elements that influence other company attributes that are important to investors.
