Motorcycle Sales in RI in 2025 Reach 6.41 Million Units, This is Next Year's Prediction

JAKARTA - The Indonesian Motorcycle Industry Association (AISI) recorded motorcycle sales in the Indonesian market in 2025 reaching 6,412,769 units. This figure grew 1.3 percent compared to the same period last year.

Referring to AISI data, growth in the midst of weakening purchasing power in this past year shows that motorcycles are still the most efficient and effective productive means of transportation needed by the community.

AISI Commercial Sector Head Sigit Kumala explained that the relatively stable domestic motorcycle market last year could not be separated from the success of industry players in meeting the public's need for efficient and effective means of transportation to support their daily activities.

At the beginning of last year, the association projected that domestic motorcycle sales would be in the range of 6.4 million units to 6.7 million units, and finally this year 2025 will be closed at 6,412,769 units.

"On average, the domestic motorcycle sales per month are in the range of 535,000 units. This illustrates that motorcycles are indeed very needed because they are efficient and effective in meeting economic needs as well as for leisure and lifestyle of our people," he said, in an official statement received, Sunday, January 11.

Based on AISI data, the scooter segment still dominates the demand for new motorcycles in the domestic market last year with a contribution of 91.7 percent. The remaining 4.46 percent comes from the underbone motorcycle type, 3.51 percent of the sport type and the contribution of electric motorcycles is still below 1 percent.

So how do market predictions in the coming year? Entering the new year, AISI sees the domestic motorcycle market still has the potential to continue to grow with various economic challenges that this nation must face.

The imposition of excise as an additional tax imposed at the beginning of the year by a number of local governments, is feared to be the first test for industry players at the beginning of the year.

"We understand the need for increased revenue for each local government. Even if there is an increase in pensions, we hope that incentives can also be given without increasing vehicle taxes so that the impact does not affect consumer demand," said Sigit.

Sigit revealed that the double effect of global geopolitical conditions has the potential to affect the economy and the domestic motorcycle market. In addition to economic growth, commodity prices and weather conditions will affect the stability of people's purchasing power this year. Strong financing institution support will also be able to encourage the realization of sales in the domestic motorcycle market.

"Considering the various conditions and challenges that may occur this year, we project that the domestic motorcycle market will be relatively stable this year at 6.4 million-6.7 million units," he added.
