Indonesia has banned sales of Google Pixel smartphones for failing to meet domestic content requirements, days after blocking App<\/a>le\u2019s iPhone 16 in Southeast Asia\u2019s largest phone market.<\/p>\n

The Indonesian Ministry of Industry said Google\u2019s phones cannot be traded until they comply with rules requiring 40% local content in smartphones sold in Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Google must obtain local content certification before resuming sales, Industry Ministry spokesperson Febri Hendri Antoni Arief told local reporters. \u201cThe local content rule and related policies are made for fairness for all investors that invest in Indonesia, and for creating added value and deepening the industry structure here,\u201d Hendri was quoted as saying. <\/p>\n

The ban follows Indonesia\u2019s block<\/a> on iPhone 16 sales last week after Apple failed to meet a $95 million investment commitment.\u00a0Major smartphone makers must manufacture devices, develop firmware, or invest in local innovation to meet Indonesia\u2019s content rules.<\/p>\n

The Indonesian rule requires tech companies to source 40% of handset and tablet components domestically, a requirement that can be met through local manufacturing, firmware development or direct investment in innovation projects. <\/p>\n

Companies can satisfy the requirements through different routes. Samsung and Xiaomi, for instance, have established manufacturing facilities, while Apple has opted to open developer academies. <\/p>\n

The regulation, enforced through a certification system called \u201clocal content level,\u201d forms part of Indonesia\u2019s broader industrial policy to leverage its large consumer market for domestic economic development. Companies failing to meet these thresholds face sales restrictions.<\/p>\n

Neither Google nor Apple rank among Indonesia\u2019s top five smartphone brands, according to marketing research firm Counterpoint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
