Year 2025 marks a highly favorable year for Indonesia’s palm oil industry, driven by strong CPO prices and robust demand for downstream products in both domestic and global markets. Throughout 2025, the average CPO prices ranged from US$ 1,050 to US$ 1,100 per metric ton. One of the key drivers behind this price strength is the nationwide implementation of the B40 biodiesel blending mandate which has significantly increased the domestic CPO absorption.
The surge in CPO prices over the past two years (2024–2025) has enabled many palm oil conglomerates to record exceptional revenue and profit growth. In 2024, Wilmar Group led the industry with revenues of US$ 67.37 billion, followed by Sinar Mas Group at Rp. 78.83 trillion. Other major players also posted strong performances, including Musim Mas Group estimated Rp 64 trillion, Asian Agri estimated Rp. 48 trillion, Cargill Group estimated US$ 408,80 million, Astra Agro Group Rp 21.81 trillion, Salim Group Rp 20.52 trillion, Bumitama Gunajaya Agro Group Rp 15.44 trillion, Sawit Sumbermas Group Rp 10,52 trillion, Triputra Agro Group Rp 9,67 trillion and other. Meanwhile, PTPN Group has begun to reclaim its industry leadership, supported by a strong return to profitability. In 2025, revenues of these palm oil groups continued to rise. As of September 2025, Wilmar recorded revenues of US$ 51.95 billion while Sinar Mas Group reached Rp 65.65 trillion.
Unsurprisingly, this strong industry performance has attracted significant foreign investment, particularly through the acquisition of high-potential palm oil plantations. Major international investors such as FIRST Resources Group and POSCO International have made large-scale investments, a strategic move amid intense global competition for palm oil—a critical commodity for the food industry and renewable energy (biofuel) sectors. Another notable South Korean investor is PT Green Global Energi, a subsidiary of LX International, which has also committed substantial capital to Indonesia’s palm oil sector.
