Indonesia's national automotive market began recovering in February 2026, according to distribution data from the Indonesian Automotive Industry Association (Gaikindo) released on March 12, 2026. Total retail sales reached about 78,000 units, up from 67,000 units in January 2026, representing a 16.7 percent month-on-month increase. Year-on-year, this figure exceeds the 69,000 units from February 2025, indicating 11.9 percent growth. Cumulative sales for January-February 2026 totaled around 145,000 units, a 8.4 percent rise compared to the same period last year.
This momentum is driven by anticipation of Ramadan and Eid travel, which typically boost demand for new vehicles. Toyota held the top spot with 22,812 retail units and about 30 percent market share. Daihatsu ranked second with 12,336 units, followed by Suzuki surging to 9,035 units, a sharp rise from the previous month.
Mitsubishi Motors recorded 7,017 units, relying on models like Xpander and Pajero Sport. Honda placed fifth with 4,688 units, though its performance declined compared to last year. China's BYD sold 3,596 units, while new brand Jaecoo achieved 3,028 units. In the commercial segment, Mitsubishi Fuso, Isuzu, and Hino sold 2,618, 2,031, and 1,560 units respectively.
Wholesales data shows slight variations: Toyota 22,522 units, Daihatsu 13,452 units, Suzuki 9,659 units, and Mitsubishi Motors 7,008 units. This growth offers optimism for the national automotive industry.
