Indonesia Anime Con and Indonesia Comic Con 2025!

Organized by Panorama Media, these two events will be a great stage for local talents to express their creativity and take their works to the international level.

The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy predicts that the trend of the creative economy in 2025 will focus on innovation that combines the wealth of local culture with advanced technology. This prediction perfectly aligns with events like INACON and ICC, which showcase pop culture content such as anime, comics, and games, where the combination of technology and global trends becomes a major attraction. With the high interest of the younger generation in pop culture content, the creative industry in Indonesia continues to grow rapidly. Globally, the growth of pop culture is also evident in the cosplay industry, which is expected to reach a value of USD 92.8 billion by 2030 (according to reports from Credence Research and Verified Market Reports 2023).
