KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s automotive sector total industry volume (TIV) jumped 28 per cent to 70,057 units in July, compared to 54,863 units in June 2025, according to the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA).
It said In a statement that the higher TIV was attributed to a full working month of 23 working days, compared to June 2025 (19 working days), and low production base in June 2025 due to the Hari Raya Aidiladha shutdown.
However, MAA reported that the year-to-date (YTD) TIV was 5.0 per cent lower than the same corresponding period in 2024.
"On a year-on-year basis, the TIV for July 2025 was 5.0 per cent lower than the 73,501 units recorded a year earlier, with 64,438 passenger vehicles and 5,619 commercial vehicles sold.
"For production, a total of 71,439 units were produced in July 2025, up by 1.0 per cent from a year earlier comprising 67,075 passenger vehicles and 4,364 commercial vehicles," it said.
On the industry’s outlook, MAA expected the sales momentum in July 2025 to continue in August 2025.
It said the performance in August would be driven by higher stock availability supported by July's high production volume of 71,439 units, aggressive promotion in conjunction with the Merdeka month celebration, and sales impact from new model launches. - Bernama
