While it had never happened before June 2012, we now got used to the Indonesian new car market evolving above 100,000 monthly units. So it’s with a big gasp that we welcome May figures at… 99,568 units, still up 4% on May 2012 which by the way was the very first time the market was above 90,000 monthly sales. The year-to-date total now stands at 497,689 units, up 18% on 2012. Talk about explosive growth… The pole position is held by the usual suspect: the Toyota Avanza dominates again thanks to 17,033 units and 17.1% share which is very close to its year-to-date level of 17.2%.
