Indonesia is the world's second largest instant noodle market after China, with demand reaching 12.54 billion servings in 2018, a slight decline compared to 2015 that reached 13.2 billion servings, which counts for 13.5 percent of total worldwide instant noodle consumption.
Instant noodles are very popular among the Indonesian population, mostly because of its affordable price, practicality, and tasty flavour.

An early instant noodle brand in Indonesia was "Supermi", introduced in the 1968 by Indofood Sukses Makmur, one of the largest instant noodle producer in the world.
It later introduced two additional brands – "Indomie" and "Sarimi".

At least 20 instant noodle companies competing in Indonesian market with their various flavors and creativity, with Indofood, Wings Food, Conscience Food, ABC, PT Jakarana Tama, Nissin and Delifood thriving in the top seven.

Currently, Indofood Sukses Makmur has a market share of about 72% of Indonesian instant noodle production.
In 1999, the figure was about 90%; their market share declined following the introduction of "Mie Sedaap" by Wings Food in 2003.
Strong local preferences contribute to the low volume of sales of Japanese and other foreign instant noodles in Indonesia.
However, spicy Korean noodles appeal to the locals and are gaining traction in the market.

Indonesians generally prefer noodles with strong flavors.
Popular flavors include Chicken curry, Onion and Chicken, Bakso (beef meatball), Mie Goreng and Chicken Soto, a traditional Indonesian chicken soup.
In the past, Indomie tried to produce 30 different flavors to reflect various traditional dishes of Indonesian cuisine, but the product line was discontinued after disappointing results with only several popular variants remaining in production.
Indonesians usually add ingredients such as simple boiled Chinese green cabbage, boiled or fried egg, corned beef, bottled sambal chili sauce, pepper or fried shallots to their meals.

Most of the market share is owned by the product Indomie Mi goreng, a dry instant noodle meant to replicate the traditional Indonesian dish Mie goreng, or fried noodles.
In November 2019, LA Times named Indomie Barbecue Chicken flavour and Indomie Mi Goreng as among best-tasting ramen in the world.
Other variants of popular instant noodles in Indonesia includes Mie Gelas, which is sized so it could be served in a drinking glass, and Pop Mie, which is similar to Cup Noodles.

Although originally targeted for family at home; nowadays, instant noodles are also served in warung (simple shop).
These shops serving instant noodles are customarily called warung indomie, despite the fact that the brand of instant noodles served there are not necessarily Indomie.

Major Indonesian instant noodle brands amongs other are:
Indomie
Mie Sedaap
Sarimi
Pop Mie
