(MENAFNEditorial)
We forecast the passenger car segment to continue outperforming the commercial vehicle (CV) segment in 2014. Despite that we expect a slight slowing in car sales growth to 8.5% in 2014. Auto sector growth will rebound to previous levels in 2015 with a 9.6% rise.
According to Association of Indonesian Automotive Industries (Gaikindo) domestic vehicle sales in June 2014 came in at 110560 units an increase of 6.0% year-on-year (y-o-y). Sales were boosted by the low-cost green car (LCGC) segment. This brought total H114 sales to 642323 units an increase of 6.7% y-o-y. For 2014 we forecast auto sales to grow 7.1% to 1.32mn units. Production figures have remained steady in 2014. In June they were recorded at 116840 and are expected to increase gradually in the second half of 2014 and into 2015.

This decrease in growth is only temporary as sales growth is predicted to rise to 9.6% in 2015. The Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) scheme introduced in September 2013 recorded sales of over 50000 units in 2013 and in H114 alone recorded 85463 sales - giving the industry a significant boost. The availability of fuel-efficient variants in this segment will give consumers an alternative in an environment of higher pump prices and we see these eco-car models continuing to buoy passenger car sales in 2014. That said our Country Risk team believes that inflation will remain fairly elevated in 2014 and this will erode consumers' purchasing power ( see 'Mounting Headwinds Despite Consensus-Beating Growth' February 6). Furthermore this is likely to keep Bank Indonesia's hawkish stance unchanged at least in H114. With 70% of auto sales requiring some form of financing we cannot neglect the impact of higher interest rates on consumer loans and our lower passenger car sales growth forecast for 2014 compared with 2013's...
