After two straight years of decline, the motor vehicle production in Indonesia resumed growth in 2017, rising by 1.9% y/y to 7.5mn units. The increased export demand for motorcycles and PCs was the main growth driver, while the domestic market weakened. Motorcycles, which made up 84% of the overall output in 2017, witnessed a 1.6% y/y growth in production to 6.3mn units. The production in the PC segment edged 1.4% y/y up to more than 982,000 units. The CV segment expanded the most, up by 12% to 234,260 units. The Indonesian automobile production is sufficient to cover the domestic demand. Indeed, in 2017, it accounted for 108% of the overall domestic sales.

down in 2016 and 2017, as the local automotive manufacturers implemented no expansion of their production capacities. In 2016, the production of transport equipment went up by 1.8% y/y to HUF 7.9tn and by another 1.8% during January-November 2017, compared to a 16.5% y/y rise in 2015 and above 20% y/y growth in 2013 and in 2014. However, the automotive production growth is expected to accelerate, mainly due to the capacity extension project of the local Mercedes-Benz plant which has intentions to build a second plant for production of passenger cars in the country by 2020. This will boost the local production capacity of the company by 80%.

Over the 2014-2016 period, the automotive industry of Argentina experienced a sharp drop in production and sales, after a robust expansion between 2003 and 2013. Several factors contributed to this downward trend: the contraction of the domestic economy; a severe decline in demand for vehicles in Brazil – Argentina’s main trading partner, combined with Brazil’s high share in the country’s vehicle exports; and the fact that a heavy tax burden and relatively high production costs makes the Argentine automotive industry uncompetitive internationally. However, economic recovery in 2017, coupled with improved business confidence stemming from the liberalisation measures of President Macri’s administration, has encouraged foreign companies to announce several investment projects to increase domestic production capacity, mainly for light commercial vehicles (LCVs).
