Despite experiencing growth, car manufacturers from Indonesia must be prepared to face challenges in 2026. This is because the geopolitical situation is currently uncertain, potentially impacting vehicle shipments.

“The current geopolitical crisis is causing the world to seem divided. The threat to the automotive industry today is the interdependence between countries. If one is disrupted, it will certainly hinder the industry,” said Bob Azam, Vice President Director of PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) to KatadataOTO some time ago.
