The market share for cosmetics products from Indonesia is still large.
Cosmetics products from Indonesia began to get a place in the hearts of Saudi citizens. Some products are even popular with the citizen of Petro Dollar’s country.
Consul General R.I Jeddah, M Hery Saripudin, said that based on statistical data up to October 2017, essential oil and reinoids products belonging to cosmetics are growing.
“Reached 20.81 percent with transaction numbers reaching US $ 2,553,281 (equivalent to Rp34, 75 billion)” Hery said through a written statement to Dream.com, Wednesday, February 21, 2018.
This number increased when compared with the value of transactions in the same month in 2016 with a value of US $ 2,113,537, equivalent to Rp28, 76 billion.
