Gaikindo Maintains Optimism on 2025 Vehicle Sales

Positive Market Trends Observed

The Indonesian Motor Vehicle Industry Association (Gaikindo) is maintaining its optimistic outlook for the automotive market in 2025, projecting that vehicle sales will reach 800,000 units by year-end. While this figure falls short of the initial projection of 850,000 units, Gaikindo Chairman Putu Juli Ardika believes that recent market trends indicate a positive trajectory.

Factors Supporting Sales Growth

Several factors are contributing to Gaikindo's optimism. Firstly, there has been a noticeable increase in vehicle orders during recent automotive exhibitions. This surge in demand is seen as a positive indicator for the industry's overall performance in the remaining months of 2025. Additionally, the overall market sentiment has shown signs of improvement, with a rebound in consumer confidence being a key driver.

Industry Outlook

Putu Juli Ardika highlighted that the sales growth is expected to continue, albeit at a more moderate pace. The industry is cautiously optimistic about meeting the revised target of 800,000 units. This projection is based on the continued recovery of consumer spending and the introduction of new vehicle models in the market. Gaikindo's confidence is further bolstered by the positive response to recent automotive events, such as the GAIKINDO Jakarta Auto Week (GJAW) 2025.
