According to a report by the Association of Indonesian Automotive Industries (Gaikindo), the volume of car sales from factories to dealers (wholesales) in the domestic market in September 2025 was 62,071 units.

The figure indeed rose slightly by 0.47% compared to the previous month (month-to-month). However, when viewed annually, the volume plummeted by 15.09% (year-on-year) compared to September 2024, which recorded 73,108 units.

Automotive observer James Luhulima believes that the declining trend in car sales throughout this year needs an immediate response from the government through incentive policies for conventional vehicles.

“If not supported by the government, conventional car sales will continue to decline, and in turn, will hit assembly plants and component manufacturers," James said in his statement, as reported by Kompas.id, Saturday (11/10/2025).

According to him, the government needs to provide fiscal incentives for conventional vehicles, for example, through tax reductions or relief from motor vehicle administrative fees.

“Otherwise, it will be difficult for conventional cars to compete with electric and hybrid cars,” James stated.

In September 2025, Toyota remained the best-selling car manufacturer in Indonesia with wholesale sales of 20,738 units.

It was followed by Daihatsu and Mitsubishi, which recorded wholesales of 10,605 and 6,071 units, respectively.
