Evolution of Automobile Production in ASEAN Countries
- The ASEAN countries that produce automobiles are: Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. These four countries produced a total of 3.8 million vehicles in 2017 (of which 2 million for Thailand, 1.2 million for Indonesia, 0.5 million for Malaysia and 0.1 million for the Philippines), 3.7 million vehicles in 2016 and 2.1 million in 2007.
- Of these four countries, Thailand remains the country that produces the most vehicles, in particular because it is the world center of production for mid-range pickups. Indonesia, which has experienced growth comparable to that of Thailand over the last decade, has supplanted Malaysia, which has experienced sluggish production since 2005. Finally, the Philippines, where production also stagnates, produces five times less than Malaysia.
- By manufacturer, we observe that the ASEAN countries have become a preferred zone for Japanese manufacturers. They account for 83% of automobile production in these countries in 2017, compared to 57% in 2007.
- In 2017, Toyota is the manufacturer that produces the most vehicles in these countries, with a volume of 1.2 million units (which is 32% of the total production of these countries, compared to 21% in 2007), followed by Honda (520,000 units), Mitsubishi (470,000 units), Isuzu (275,000 units), Daihatsu (185,000 units), Ford (185,000 units), Perodua (185,000 units), Nissan (175,000 units), Suzuki (160,000 units) and Mazda (145,000 units).
