Automotive industry analysts predict that if related issues are not resolved in time, Indonesia's car sales in 2025 could fall below 800,000 units, unless macroeconomic growth significantly recovers in the second half of the year. In July 2025, wholesale deliveries from car factories to dealers reached 60,552 units, up 4.8% month-on-month (June: 57,799 units), but down 18.4% year-on-year (July 2024: 74,230 units). Retail sales in July 2025 totaled 62,770 units, up 1.8% month-on-month, but down 17% year-on-year (July 2024: 75,588 units). Cumulative wholesale deliveries in January-July 2025 reached 435,390 units, down 10.1% year-on-year. In 2024, wholesale deliveries totaled 865,723 units, down 13.9% year-on-year (2023: 1,005,802 units); retail sales totaled 889,680 units, down 10.9% year-on-year. The 2025 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS 2025) attracted nearly 500,000 visitors, providing a positive boost to the July market, but with limited effect. In addition, the sustained decline in purchasing power and economic pressures since 2024 have also impacted car sales in Indonesia. This situation calls for coordinated measures from the government, industry players, and financial institutions, including boosting economic growth to strengthen purchasing power, stabilizing car prices that have been rising by an average of 7% annually, accelerating the implementation of incentive policies, and relaxing local taxes.
