Nangoi also said the Indonesian automotive market will grow 3% to 4% in 2017 to approximately 1.1 million vehicles. Despite signs of the economy improving, there are still many things to be pursued to develop the Indonesia automotive industry on both the domestic and export fronts, he said. He also explained that new car exports from Indonesia stand at 200,000 vehicles per year while Thailand exports nearly one million vehicles annually. GIIAS 2017, scheduled for Aug 10-20, is part of industry efforts to catch up with other Southeast Asian countries. We hope this year could see even more," said Rizwan Alamsjah, chief organiser of GIIAS 2017.
