Indonesia's automotive industry is vigorously expanding its export business to address the continuous decline in domestic sales caused by a drop in purchasing power and a slowdown in economic growth. According to data from the Indonesian Automotive Industry Association (Gaikindo), as the second-largest automobile producer in Southeast Asia after Thailand, Indonesia exported 233,648 units of complete vehicles from January to June this year, a 7% increase compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, domestic auto sales fell by 8.6% to 374,740 units during the same period, continuing the downward trend since 2023.
