The digital economy has transformed the legal landscape of industry and trade in Indonesia, necessitating the adaptation of competition law, consumer protection regulations, and the transformation of national industries. This study analyses two key aspects: firstly, the effectiveness of Law No. 5 of 1999 on Competition and Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection in addressing the dominance of digital platforms, predatory pricing, and the risk of data breaches; second, the role of Making Indonesia 4.0, the Job Creation Law, and the Government’s Digital Master Plan 2025–2045 as catalysts for the transformation of manufacturing towards Industry 4.0. Using a legal-normative literature review approach, it was found that the KPPU is actively addressing digital monopolies (the Google Play Billing System case), but regulatory revisions are required regarding algorithmic discrimination and the gig economy. Industrial transformation faces the digital divide and the need for harmonisation with the ASEAN Digital Economy Framework. The conclusion emphasises the need for holistic economic legislation that balances innovation, healthy competition, and inclusivity towards Indonesia Emas 2045.
