Automotive - Indonesian car exports in 2025 hit a Record 518,000 units

Automotive - Indonesian car exports in 2025 hit a Record 518,000 units Indonesia's four-wheeled vehicle export performance recorded growth throughout 2025 despite a weakening domestic market and declining production in several segments, including commercial vehicles like trucks. Data from the Association of Indonesian Motor Vehicle Industries (Gaikindo) shows that shipments of complete built-up (CBU) cars reached 518,212 units. This figure represents a 9.7% yoy increase and is the highest record in the history of Indonesian car exports. Gaikindo Secretary General Kukuh Kumara stated that this achievement is an important support for the national automotive industry, especially since domestic sales have not yet returned to normal levels as before the market slowdown. From the producer's perspective, CBU exports are still dominated by Japanese manufacturers. Toyota led with shipments of 175,446 units, contributing 33.9% of total exports. The next position is occupied by Daihatsu with 124,848 units (24.1%) and Mitsubishi Motors with 105,079 units (20.3%). Hyundai is in the next position with 54,175 units, followed by Suzuki with 30,636 units and Honda with 17,126 units. (Source : Kontan)
