Indonesian Automotive Sales Rebound in October 2025

Significant Monthly Growth

The Indonesian automotive industry experienced a significant rebound in October 2025, with total vehicle sales reaching 74,020 units. This represents a 19.23% month-on-month increase according to data from the Indonesian Motor Vehicle Industry Association (Gaikindo). The sales figure is particularly noteworthy as it marks a return to monthly sales above the 70,000-unit threshold, a level not consistently achieved since April.

Market Recovery Indicators

The October sales data indicates a recovery from the relatively subdued sales period between April and September, during which the industry averaged 59,381 units per month. This recent surge suggests a potential stabilization and growth trajectory for the automotive sector.

Stock Market Impact

The positive sales data has had an immediate impact on the stock performance of major automotive companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange. Key players in the industry have seen significant stock price increases: - Astra International (ASII): Shares rose 11.69% to Rp 6,450 - Astra Otoparts (AUTO): Shares climbed 15.15% to Rp 2,660 - Indomobil Sukses Internasional (IMAS): Shares gained 3.11% - Indomobil Multi Jasa (IMJS): Shares increased 2.5%

The stock price movements reflect investor optimism about the future prospects of the automotive industry following the strong sales data. The market appears to be pricing in potential continued growth and improved financial performance for these companies.

Industry Outlook

The strong October sales figures and subsequent stock market reaction suggest a positive short-term outlook for the Indonesian automotive industry. Factors contributing to this growth may include improved consumer confidence, seasonal demand patterns, and potential new model releases. Industry stakeholders will be monitoring subsequent months' sales data to determine if this represents a sustained recovery or a temporary spike.
