JAKARTA - National car sales closed December 2025 with a positive signal. In the midst of market performance that had slowed throughout the year, sales in the last month actually accelerated and became the main support for the annual target to be achieved.

Based on data from the Indonesian Motor Vehicle Industry Association (Gaikindo) reported by VOI, Monday, January 12, the total car sales throughout January-December 2025 reached 803,687 units. Even though the figure is still down 7.2 percent compared to the same period in 2024 with 865,723 units.

The achievement was thanks to sales in December 2025, the wholesales data (manufacturer distribution to dealers) was recorded at 94,100 units, jumping 26.9 percent compared to November. Retail sales performance, alias sales from dealers to consumers, also improved.

In December, retail penetrated 93,833 units, up 18.3 percent from November's 79,348 units. This means that people's interest in buying new cars is growing again ahead of the new year.

This phenomenon is not new. Every year-end, car sales tend to increase thanks to massive year-end promos and long holiday momentum, which consumers usually use to buy new vehicles.

With this final result, Gaikindo's target for 2025 of 780 thousand official units has been exceeded. This record also closes the year which was previously colored by a revision of the projection, from 850-900 thousand units.
