Description

The Outlook assesses the automotive industry in 5 main ASEAN* markets: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The project covers passenger vehicles (PVs) and pickup trucks. Pickups are the most used and popular commercial vehicles (CVs) across different geographies and industries, including agriculture, in the region. Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam are the primary automotive production hubs in the region. The region is home to assembly plants from foreign and domestic OEMs, including Perodua and Proton from Malaysia and VinFast from Vietnam.

As a robust emerging region, ASEAN’s GDP, urbanization, road infrastructure, and living standards continue to improve rapidly, accelerating PV sales and ownership. Despite this market dynamism, the automotive industry faces challenges such as weakening consumer confidence, economic slowdowns across several ASEAN markets, and rising interest rates. In 2024, the 5 major ASEAN markets collectively sold a total of 3.0 million PVs and pickup trucks, representing a decline of 70,495 units compared to 2023.

The study outlines the size of the respective automotive markets, examines historical industry data from 2023 and forecasts for 2025, highlights key industry trends in 2024, and evaluates market expectations for 2025.
