JAKARTA - Google has just expanded its market in Southeast Asia, by opening their representative offices in Malaysia. Before in Malaysia, Google has had another representative office in Singapore. Then when Indonesia will be visited by Google?
Although so far Google has had strong market penetration in Indonesia since the Internet began to spread in the country, companies have not touched the local market seriously. Only in mid-2010, Google began bergeliat in Indonesia.
For the first time, Google introduced officially to the number of journalists about the Chrome browser service Indonesian flavor, to the audience. Whereas before Google was never formally introduced.
At that time, Andrew McGlinchey, Head of Product Management, Google Southeast Asia, said Indonesia as a country that is important for Google services. This increase is in line with the growth of Internet use is increasingly widespread.
"Internet users in Indonesia have an important role for Google. Growth, especially search engines, from year to year has increased very rapidly," he said in mid-2010.
Although stressing the importance of Indonesia, unfortunately Andrew reluctant to give details about the number of Google users in the country. However, he saw, Indonesia is not inferior to countries in the Asia Pacific region.
"The growth of Google's services on the desktop, has increased two times compared with the previous year. We also see Google in the mobile user is experiencing an increase, although not as much on the desktop," said Andrew.
Unfortunately, Google has not formally imply whether his company would invest in the homeland. Although at the time, Derek Callow, Head of Marketing Google Southeast Asia, referred to Indonesia as a country worthy of the big companies ogled.
"Any multinational company will look to Indonesia as a big market, not to mention Google. Moreover, with the population reaching 240 million more," he said.
Indonesia certainly hope really huge company like Google want to invest in Indonesia. Moreover menginggat internet users in Indonesia, which is fairly large, has not been fully explored.
The government should open a wide path for companies like Google comes in the homeland. Evidence, Google has opened an office in Malaysia. If in Malaysia are able, should also be in Indonesia.
