Indonesia's Motorcycle Sales and Exports Slump in September 2024

According to the Indonesian Motorcycle Industry Association (AISI), domestic motorcycle sales in Indonesia reached 528,715 units in September 2024.

This figure is down 7.87% month-to-month (mtm) compared to August 2024 (573,886 units).

Similarly, motorcycle exports from Indonesia also corrected by 8.41% (mtm) to 51,944 units.

Scooter-type motorcycles continued to dominate both domestic sales and exports.

Scooter sales contributed 90.16% to total domestic motorcycle sales and 46.55% to total exports.

Sport-type motorcycles contributed 4.47% domestically and 27.11% to exports.

Underbone motorcycles contributed 5.37% domestically and 26.34% to exports.

Cumulatively, domestic motorcycle sales from January to September 2024 reached 4.87 million units, up 3.19% compared to the same period in 2023 (cumulative-to-cumulative/ctc).

During the same period, Indonesian motorcycle exports fell by 6.70% to 399,989 units.

Despite the less favorable economic conditions, AISI remains optimistic that domestic motorcycle sales will reach their target this year. This is supported by the Indonesia Motorcycle Show (IMOS) 2024, which AISI will hold at the end of October 2024.

"We hope that the exhibition can contribute to increasing motorcycle sales to reach AISI's target of 6.35 million to 6.45 million units," said AISI Chairman Johannes Loman in a statement, as reported by Kompas, Wednesday (9/10/2024).
