Personal computers are widely used by offices, industries and in the home.  During the period of 1992-1993, personal computer was mostly used by  offices and industries, and only small portion were used by individual home users.  However, in 1994, the number of individual users started to increase. 

In 1995, 7% of computer users were individuals, and the rest were business users. Individual users increased to 13% of all users in the following year. Jakarta has the most individual users about 43% of the Indonesian total.  Home users in Bandung and in Surabaya comprise 13% and 11% of the national, respectively.

As result of increased income, higher education levels and greater awareness of advanced technology, the market for personal computers for individual home users is projected to grow, although this growth is expected to be concentrated in metropolitan areas.  Sophisticated personal computers are popular amongst teenagers and young executives.  It is estimated that in 1997, computer usage in that segment of the population will increase 20 - 25%.
