6. “The millennials, they don’t really like to change clothes every day,”
Indrawati, the finance minister, said. “They want to have the same T-shirt,
like Steve Jobs, black. Maybe they only have two, I don’t know, but they
are not buying.”

7. Millennials aren’t spending
As seen on the previous charts, Indonesians aren’t really spending their
money. According to Sri Mulyani, these people in middle to high class have
the money spend, but they just don’t want to spend them. The first chart
has shown that the private consumption of Indonesians is getting even more
flat over the years, and at the same time the retail sales are just keep
dropping as well.
Probably there’s a change of behaviour we didn’t know about?

Especially, if it involves luxury goods, which are:
25% smartphones or tablets
17% luxury and leather goods
17% jewelries

9. With technology (smartphones) being the first priority in millennials’ minds,
it means that there’s a shift in priority of necessity. Which is a totally
different case for the generation x and y Indonesians.
Where did the gen x and y go?

10. Mystery spending
While the millennials are trying to figure out how to keep their finances
secure for the future, the older generations have another concern called
‘mystery spending’. Spendings that they’re not sure what they’d spent on.
To enlighten that part, YouGov partnered with Visa conducted a research
across 14 countries in Asia. The highlight of the research is to find out
where did the ‘mystery spending’ go, especially for senior citizens from
40-54 years old.

13. What about those Gen Z?
Well, digital is their world, they buy everything online, they look up to
famous people on social media, and they purchase something they really
like, less likely affected by trends. Now, for the overall consumers in
Indonesia, PricewaterhouseCoopers conducted a research regarding
purchasing behaviour in Indonesia.
Hint: change of behaviours proved.
