Indonesia Bans Google Pixel Sales for Failing Local Content Requirements

Indonesia has recently made headlines for banning sales of Google Pixel smartphones due to their failure to meet domestic content requirements. This decision comes just days after the country blocked the sale of Apple’s iPhone 16 in Southeast Asia’s largest phone market.

The Ministry of Industry in Indonesia has stated that Google’s phones will not be allowed to be traded until they comply with regulations that mandate at least 40% local content in smartphones sold within the country.

According to Industry Ministry spokesperson Febri Hendri Antoni Arief, Google will need to obtain local content certification before they can resume sales in Indonesia.

This ban on Google Pixel sales follows a similar move by the Indonesian government to block the sale of iPhone 16 after Apple failed to meet a $95 million investment commitment. In order to meet Indonesia’s content rules, major smartphone manufacturers are required to either manufacture devices locally, develop firmware within the country, or invest in local innovation.

Interestingly, neither Google nor Apple are among the top five smartphone brands in Indonesia, according to research firm Counterpoint.
