High order backlog continues to drive sales


HLIB Research maintained its total industry volume forecast for 2023 at 700,000 units.

PETALING JAYA: Automotive sales volume is expected to remain robust in the second half of this year, supported by a huge order backlog, according to Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) Research.

However, the trend will likely normalise towards 2024, with sales expected to move at a slower pace after the backlog is cleared.
