IndoAutomotive 2009 Shown Promising Signs for Industry
(Published in Autoparts Magazine, October 2009 Issuance, page # 72)
During August 12 – 15, 2009, the 2nd Indonesian Automotive Parts and Accessories Exhibition 2009 successfully held at Jakarta International Expo Kemayoran. As the major event in the automotive spare parts and accessories industry, it received massive media coverage of over 100 newspapers, magazines, websites, TVs, radios and so on.
The organizer has based its predictions response to the first show. 76% of the exhibitors achieved their goals at the show and 82% immediately decided to attend the next one.
Among satisfied exhibitors at 2009 was Mr. Rony Pranoto, Engineer Manager of Laksana Teknik Makmur, PT “Participating this event make our company more be known by other companies and enhance out network to new customer and distributor. We confirmed to join in the next IndoAutomotive.” And also stated by Mr. Kelvin Chong, Senior BD Manager, Juken Technology from Singapore “This is good opportunity to understand the local market and get a feel about country and culture.”
IndoAutomotive returns at an opportune time for the country’s automotive sector, which saw a strong rebound in production of 2008 and is forecast for further growth. Consultant Business Monitor International (BMI) forecasts positive growth to be sustained through to 2012, and also expects production to receive a fillip from potential major investment.
Renault, for example has approached the Indonesian investment authorities with plans for a potential US$600 million plant, which would become the carmaker’s South East Asia production hub. General Motors (GM) is also considering Indonesia for a new plant for its Chevrolet models, while South Korea’s Hyundai has invested in a commercial vehicles joint venture and Japan’s Toyota is also boosting production.
Consequently, BMI expects Indonesia automobile production to surpass 500,000 units by 2010, rising to just short of 625,000 by 2012. Increased production activities should also give rise to the market’s growing export industry, which BMI expects to account for over 30% of domestic automotive production by the end of the forecast period.
Indonesia is also expecting strong investment in the motorcycle sector, which turned out at estimated 4.6 million units in 2008. Multinational motorcycle manufacturers such as Yamaha will invest an estimated total of around $250 million in 2009 to boost production capabilities. (*)

All Geared Up to Accelerate
2010 AutomotiveBusiness Gains in Indonesia Market through IndoAutomotive 2010
Indonesia’s Economic Background
After four straight quarters of decline, the US economy is deemed ‘out of woods’ according to an influential survey of economists, The Straits Times reported on 14 October by Reuters, Washington. The rest of the world awaits with anticipation the promise of a healthy and robust 2010.
The Indonesia’s economy held its own and weathered the past recession months and against all odds grew at the fastest pace against the other South East Asian Economies in the first quarter of 2009. The predicted growth according to IMF is set to be around 2.5 % for the whole year.
In a Kontan report on November 25, 2009, the Secretary General of the Association of Indonesia Automotive Industry - Freddy A. Sutrisno recorded that 389,771 units of car has sold until October 2009. "We believe automobile market in 2010 can reach 555,000 unit sales". This prediction is 23.3% higher than the real car sales which predicted will reach 450,000 unit sales until end of this year. The Chairman of Indonesian Motorcycles Industry Association – Gunadi Sindhuwinata recorded the motorcycles sales until October 2009 is 4,753,478 units.
Compared to 2008, car production reached 600,884 units and motorcycles 6,264,665 units. In spite of the slowing down of the world economy, the automotive industry is able to sustain an 8 per cent growth rate. The slowing down of car sales spells good news for the after sales market of automotive parts and accessories as older cars are more maintenance and replacement intensive. This sector is poised for greater sales and even greater potential growth as an increase in maintenance, repairs and replacement needs of older cars is synonymous to greater demand for parts and accessories. Companies are geared up for increases in sales revenue and profitability.
Confidence and optimism reign in the Automotive Industry. Major international companies are showing their confidence in Indonesia through their hefty investments in setting up factories and workshops. China’s automotive Geely International Corporation has decided to market Geely MK and CK. In Tempo report on November 2, 2009, the President Director of PT. Geely Mobil Indonesia (the single agent of Geely’s brand holder in Indonesia) – Budi Pramono said that PT. GMI imported Geely MK and CK completely knock down. The component of the car then assembled by PT. Gaya Motor.
