BUSINESS PROSPECTS
Global economic growth is predicted to continue a positive trend until 2026 although it will follow an upward-sloping curve from the growth seen in 2021 of 5.5%. This positive growth will be followed by growth in the flow of goods internationally. The pandemic created a new habit trend, one being the move to online shopping, and the e-commerce business has increased rapidly in response to this change. Most e-commerce goods are transported in container packaging and this will have a positive effect on global container traffic growth. This growth potential can be optimized by developing international transshipment in the Pelindo port areas located on the world’s shipping lanes.
For non-container cargo, the market for domestic goods traffic still has a huge potential as currently Pelindo only has a small market share of the national market. Pelindo will cooperate in several schemes with non-container ports including the Special Terminal (Tersus)/Terminal for Self Interest (TUKS) and ports belonging to Government Ministries/Institutions (K/L). Pelindo’s weakness in establishling these cooperations is that the tariffs are generally higher than private businesses. In addition, Pelindo needs to formulate additional value for its partners who own/ manage domestic non-container ports.
