- The Indonesian market finished 2013 with a sales volume of 830 000 PC against 780 000 in 2012 and 602 000 in 2011. The whole of 2013 registered an increase of 6.4% compared to 2012, continuing a trend that began in 2010. This growth is one of the highest recorded in the passenger car market in 2013.

- In terms of volume, the Indonesian market has become the eighteenth world market. It is mainly dominated by Japanese brands that have made Southeast Asia one of their main markets (Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia, Philippines, Laos, Burma, etc ...). They held 93% of the Indonesian market in 2013.

- By group, the Toyota group dominates the Indonesian market, with 59% of the market, a share rarely achieved by manufacturers in any given market. Followed far behind by the Suzuki (10%), Honda (10%) and Renault-Nissan (9%) groups. Other manufactures from the U.S. (GM and Ford), Europe, Korea and China hold a small share of the Indonesian market (7%).

- By model, four cars of the Toyota brand are ranked in the top seven most sold cars: Toyota Avanza (209 968 units) dominates the market before the Toyota Innova (66 786 units), Daihatsu Xenia (65 025 units), Suzuki Ertiga (64 194 units), Toyota Fortuner (36 217 units), Nissan Livina (34 484 units) and Toyota Rush (31 725 units).

  

- Toyota was the last carmaker to comment on its industrial presence in Australia, it announced this week it would cease its production in Australia by the end of 2017 .

- The 100 000 units produced in 2013 by Toyota for two types of sedans :  the Camry and Aurion, hardly justify the presence of a plant on site. Local production should indeed face competition from countries of South East Asia (mainly Thailand and Indonesia), the automobile production of these countries is growing strongly and a significant amount of vehicles are intended for export. Australian production is not helped by the strong local dollar, making the prices of imported vehicles very attractive.

- Toyota could not remain the only manufacturer to maintain its car industry in Australia and copied the strategy of other manufacturers still present on site. Indeed, Mitsubishi ceased its production in Australia in 2009 and the two American carmakers Ford and General Motors, decided a few weeks ago to cease production in the country by 2016-2017.

- The withdrawal of Toyota therefore means it will not only stop its car manufacturing in Australia by 2017, but also stop any automobile production in Australia at that date. As a result, imports of vehicles in Australia will therefore experience strong growth between 2016 and 2018.
