[CNMO Tech News] July 16, @NEVData released observation data on the Southeast Asia automotive market: Chinese brand market share in the six ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore) exceeds 60% in the new energy sector. Among them, Indonesia reached as high as 91%.
According to statistics, cumulative sales of passenger cars and pickups in the six ASEAN countries in the first half of the year totaled 1.9246 million, up 7.2% year-on-year. Specifically for June data, retail sales of passenger cars and pickups were 332,700, up 9.7% year-on-year. Indonesia (passenger cars, same for subsequent mentions) sales were 74,507 units, up 10.5% year-on-year; Malaysia sales were 72,943 units, up 23.1% year-on-year; Thailand sales were 68,912 units, up 11.2% year-on-year; Vietnam and Philippines sold 51,366 and 38,124 units respectively, up 6.4% and 4.1% year-on-year; Singapore was the only country with sales declining year-on-year, selling 6,948 units, down 1.8%.
Data shows, June NEV penetration rates varied significantly across countries. Singapore ranked first with a penetration rate of 66.4%, up 19.2% year-on-year; Vietnam and Thailand ranked second and third with penetration rates of 41% and 30.3% respectively, up 94.7% and 31% year-on-year. Although Indonesia and Malaysia penetration rates were under 20%, they surged 78% and 122% year-on-year.
