Key Summary:

  • Indonesia's 2Q25 car sales down -12% YoY to 169.5K units
  • Malaysia posted higher car sales of 183.3K units, -3% YoY
  • Both still face struggling auto industries, especially ICE sales

Despite having a larger automotive market, Indonesia’s quarterly car sales in 2Q25 came in below Malaysia’s for the first time in history, potentially signaling a shift in industry leadership across ASEAN.


See the numbers: 2Q25 car sales in Indonesia reached 169.5K units, a drop of -12% YoY (-17% QoQ) on the back of broadly declining purchasing power, which is in line with weakening household consumption and the economy.
