As interest in electric vehicles grows in Indonesia, market competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Over the past five years, more than 10 new brands have entered the market, most of which are from China, including Wuling, Dongfeng Sokon, Hyundai, Chery, Neta, BYD, and others. However, the Chief Operating Officer of Chery Indonesia Sales Company predicts that only a few brands will truly survive in the coming years.
He pointed out that there are currently 10-15 Chinese auto brands in Indonesia, but in five to ten years, there may be fewer than 10 major players left, including Chinese, Japanese, and other national brands. He believes this phenomenon is similar to the Chinese market, where fierce competition has led to the bankruptcy of many EV manufacturers, and only brands with strong foundations, continuous innovation, and solid financial support can adapt to the rapidly changing industry.
He emphasized that the automotive industry may change as quickly as the mobile phone industry, and brands that fail to adapt will be eliminated. As one of China's strong automotive groups, Chery, with its solid position in the global market, is committed to maintaining competitiveness through diverse products and high-quality customer service. Although the market is currently dominated by traditional brands such as Toyota, Chery is optimistic about its future survival in Indonesia and plans to address challenges through strategic adjustments.
