REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- With the largest Muslim population with moderate views in the world, Indonesia has a growing ambition to emerge as a global Muslim fashion capital. At least 85 percent of the over 260 million Indonesians are Muslims and a majority of them wear dresses in line with moderate Islamic teachings.
With the support of the Industry Ministry, the Fourth Muslim Fashion Festival (Muffest) was organized at the Assembly Hall of the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) from May 1 to 4, 2019. Organized annually by the Indonesian Fashion Chamber (IFC), the 2018 Muffest recorded transactions worth Rp 38.9 billion, and saw 51,389 visitors, an increase from Rp 28.3 billion in business transactions and 47,100 visitors in 2017, Ali Charisma, the National Chairman of the Indonesian Fashion Chamber, said in his opening report of the 2019 Muffest.
The fourth Muffest, which hopes to achieve total business transactions worth Rp 45 billion and record over 55 thousand visitors, was enlivened with fashion shows, fashion presentations, retail exhibitions, business-to-business meetings, talk shows, seminars and fashion design competitions, including the Modest Young Designer Competition, which is a talent search event for young designers in Indonesia. The Muslim fashion industry and markets are growing domestically and globally, Industry Minister Airlangga Hartarto said, while officially opening the Muffest.
"Indonesia is one of the countries with the best growth in Muslim fashion in the world, after the United Arab Emirates," said Hartarto.
The minister hoped the annual Muslim Fashion Festival would help promote Indonesian Muslim fashion internationally. In 2018, the global Muslim population reached 24 percent of the world's total population. The largest Muslim fashion markets are member states of the OIC, reaching 191 billion US dollars. Indonesia still has the potential to increase its exports to the OIC member countries.
According to the State Global Islamic Economy, the global fashion consumption among Muslims was recorded at 270 billion US dollar, and its growth rate is projected at five percent. Hence, it would increase to 361 billion US dollar in 2023. The Muslim fashion industry, which is part of Indonesia's textile and textile product (TPT) sector, has made a significant contribution to the national economy.
The national TPT product exports reached 13.27 billion US dollar in 2018, up 5.4 percent from 12.59 billion US dollar, while the performance of the TPT industry has grown significantly from 3.76 percent in 2017 to 8.73 percent in 2018. Hence, the Industry Minister is optimistic that Indonesia would become a hub for the Muslim fashion industry in the world in 2020 and encouraged the Muslim fashion industry to become globally more competitive.
"The market for Muslim wear is big, both outside and inside the country, and needs to be dominated by our Muslim fashion industry," Hartarto said.
"One thing that makes us proud is that the Indonesian achievement in the international world has been very significant. According to data from the State of Global Islamic Economy Report of 2018/2019, Indonesia is the runner up among countries that produce the best Muslim fashion in the world after the United Arab Emirates," Hartarto noted.
