In 2024, PT Industri Jamu Dan Farmasi Sido Muncul Tbk demonstrated significant growth in both operational and financial aspects. The Company effectively navigated various challenges and business dynamics, maintaining considerable control over its operations. The Board of Directors remains optimistic that Sido Muncul will continue to grow and maintain sustainability in its industrial sector.
This report presents the latest information regarding Sido Muncul's business activities in 2024 and aims to help shareholders and stakeholders understand the conditions and developments achieved by the Company throughout 2024.
Through this report, the Board of Directors would like to describe the Company's operational and financial performance throughout 2024.
Economic global conditions are still characterized by significant uncertainty, although there has been some improvement in 2024 compared to the previous year. High global inflation has led central banks to raise interest rates, which is hindering economic growth. Geopolitical tensions and prolonged conflicts have further created uncertainty and economic fragmentation, hindering global economic growth. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), economic growth is forecasted to be at 3.2% for 2024. The IMF also anticipates that the global economy will experience a slowdown, with a high inflation rate of 5.8% in 2024, which is expected to decrease to 4.2% in 2025.
Amid global uncertainty, Indonesia has demonstrated strong resilience. According to data from the Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the Indonesian economy is projected to grow by 5.03% in 2024. This growth is supported by controlled inflation, robust domestic consumption, an attractive investment climate, and policies promoting industrial downstreaming. Furthermore, data from Bank Indonesia (BI) indicates that the inflation rate for Indonesia is expected to be 1.57% (year on year) in 2024, remaining within the target range of 2.5±1%.
According to the data BPS, the current national economic conditions are robust, primarily attributed to the growth observed across various industrial sectors and an increase in productive household consumption. Notable growth rates were recorded in several key business areas: the Construction sector grew by 7.02%, the Mining and Excavation sector grew by 4.90%, and the Processing Industry grew by 4.43%. Furthermore, Household Consumption (PK-RT) and Consumption of Non-Profit Institutions Serving Households (PK-LNPRT) exhibited growth rates of 4.94% and 12.48%, respectively.
According to data from the Ministry of Health’s Strategic Plan for 2020-2024, Indonesia has great potential to develop its traditional medicine industry as it ranks among the top five mega-biodiversity countries in the world. The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia aims to enhance the capacity of human resources, facilities, and infrastructure to boost the production capacity of export-oriented herbs by 2024.
According to data from Bank Indonesia (BI), the Prompt Manufacturing Index (PMI) for the Chemical, Pharmaceutical, and Traditional Medicine sectors stands at 51.9%. These industries show strong long-term potential, particularly in health, herbal, and pharmaceuticals. The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) reports that in 2024, the export value for the pharmaceutical industry, including chemical drug products and traditional medicines, is projected to reach USD1.042 billion. The largest export destinations for these products are Taiwan, China, Philippines, India, Japan, Singapore and Vietnam.
The development of the pharmaceutical industry, chemical drug products, and traditional medicines has experienced positive growth. Public awareness of health continues to increase, and the recognition of herbal medicine as a world intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO opens up opportunities for Sido Muncul to expand its market globally.
In 2024, the Board of Directors developed a strategic plan that aligns with the Company’s vision and mission, as well as its external and internal conditions, risk exposure, and market opportunities. This strategy aims to enable the Company to grow and achieve optimal performance every year.
The Board of Directors together with Management are committed to realizing sustainability in the Company's business. Periodically, Sido Muncul will continue to expand its distribution network in the domestic and international markets. Through its subsidiaries, Sido Muncul synergizes to build a strong and integrated business ecosystem, which aims to enable Sido Muncul to excel and be the leader in the industry.
The Board of Directors will optimize the use of technology in its operational activities. In 2024, the Board of Directors encouraged the digitalization of business processes by expanding the Human Resource Information System (HRIS) function and implementation of My Sido Muncul application. The use of the My Sido Muncul application will be maximized with the aim of improving the Company's performance in terms of outlet management and gamification potential.

In 2024, there were no significant obstacles faced by the Company. However, during the course of the year, the Board of Directors made several improvements to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the Company's operations.
The Board of Directors has successfully fulfilled its roles and responsibilities. However, there is always an opportunity for further improvement. Specifically, the implementation of rapid, targeted, efficient, and adaptive strategies is vital in navigating the challenges posed by a competitive business landscape. In addition, enhancing risk management and monitoring practices is crucial for facilitating sustainable business growth. To address these needs, the Board has initiated a restructuring of the organization aimed at optimizing business and administrative processes. This restructuring is intended to enhance efficiency, adaptability, control, and sustainability, which is expected to lead to improved internal effectiveness and contribute positively to the Company’s future growth.
In 2025, the global economy remains clouded by uncertainty. This uncertainty is driven by geopolitical turmoil, which leads to volatility in financial markets. In addition, tight monetary and fiscal policies have resulted in high interest rates set by central banks, and extreme weather events are impacting several regions in developed countries.
The national economy is projected to improve through an increase in public consumption. Furthermore, Bank Indonesia (BI) has taken a proactive step by reducing the BI Rate by 25 basis points to 6.00%. This decision is aimed at maintaining oversight of the national monetary policy while effectively managing an inflation rate of 1.57% year-over-year, which remains within the target range of 2.5 ± 1% for 2024. These actions represent a strategic approach by BI to strengthen the policy mix and support national stability and economic growth.
Based on data from the Indonesian Pharmaceutical Companies Association, the pharmaceutical industry, chemical drug products, and traditional medicine sectors are targeted to grow by 6.59% in 2025, and 7.59% in 2029.
In light of the economic conditions in 2024 and projections for 2025, the Board of Directors is taking a cautious yet optimistic approach. We recognize opportunities from the increasing global awareness of health and natural products. We believe that in 2025, health products are projected to increase due to developments in medical technology and rising public awareness of health. Therefore, Sido Muncul is targeting growth of above 10% for 2025.
Sido Muncul has formulated measurable and adaptive strategic steps in response to market changes, aligning them with potential economic and geopolitical risks that may affect the industry in the future.
In 2024, the Board of Directors implemented the principles of Good Corporate Governance best practices in all operational activities. The implementation of good governance aims to support and create good business performance. This effort can provide strength for the Company in running a sustainable business, have superior competitiveness, and can provide added value to the Company.
The Board of Commissioners is committed to implementing GCG in adherence to the General Guidelines for Corporate Governance in Indonesia (PUG-KI). With these guidelines, the governance carried out by the Company is oriented towards fulfilling aspects of ethical behavior, accountability, transparency, and sustainability. In addition, the Company also implements the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard guidelines for the Company's governance system.
The Board of Directors hopes that good governance will have a positive impact on the growth and sustainability of the Company's business in the future. Therefore, the Company is expected to be able to realize the vision and mission that are its goals.
