JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Airlangga Hartarto wants the younger generation to take part in advancing the automotive industry, especially in the aftermarket and used cars markets because modification activities are able to advance the domestic industry. “Modification encourages domestic industry. And this time, Mr. Bambang (Soesatyo, Chairman of the MPR RI and Chairman of IMI), challenged young people and YouTubers to creatively modify their cars,” Airlangga said in his remarks at the OLX Autos Indonesia Modification & Lifestyle Expo (OLX Autos IMX 2022) event in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Saturday, October 1. Furthermore, Minister Airlangga also hopes that the automotive industry, especially in the modified sector and used cars, will be able to encourage added value in this industry. “Modifictors have markets at home and abroad. There is aircraftmanship power in it, and the modifier is an expert who has his own skills in the form of handskill and technology,” he said. He added that the government was also present in supporting the automotive industry, especially the modification of vehicles. Airlangga gave an example where the Ministry of Industry has made a related program that is technically accountable. On the other hand, Coordinating Minister Airlangga said that the aftermarket industry, during the last two years of the pandemic, experienced an increase in sales. For used cars, he explained an increase of 8 percent compared to the previous year. According to Airlangga, there are a number of factors that influence this, one of which is the shift in lifestyle from people who are now able to buy used cars quickly and easily. “ There is a lifestyle move from the purchase of used cars that were previously directly to the showroom, now it can be done at home. They (business actors who switch to digital) can turn challenges into opportunities, ” he said. Meanwhile, the 2022 OLX Autos IMX was officially held at the Jakarta Convention Center on October 1 and 2. The game for the modification industry and aftermarket products featuring hundreds of works made by the nation's children was initiated by the National Modificator & Aftermarket Association (NMAA) by having an important vision in driving the modification industry in Indonesia.
