Malaysian new car sales increased by 2.1%, and production increased by 2.0% in 2024
Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) announced that new car sales of 81,735 units in December increased by 4.2% over the same month in 2023.
PV (passenger vehicles) sales were increased 3.1% to 73,052 units. CV (commercial vehicles) sales were increased 15.1% to 8,683 units.
Total sales in 2024 increased 2.1% from the same period in 2023 to 816,747 units. PVs sales were up 3.9% to 747,180 units. CVs sales were down 13.8% to 69,567 units.
The number of Malaysian car production for December decreased 3.4% over the previous year to 63,962 units. Total production in 2024 increased 2.0% from the same period in 2023 to 790,347 units.
MAA announced that Malaysia broke the 800,000 units sales record for the first time in 2024. MMA attributes the sales growth to the strong domestic economy, the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR), which has remained at 3% since May 2023, the introduction of new models, and aggressive sales promotions by OEMs.
In 2025, sales are forecast to decline 4.5% to 780,000 units, and while the Malaysian economy is expected to remain strong in 2025, the impact of the U.S.-China trade conflict and a review of petrol subsidies in mid-2025 are cited as downside risks.

Malaysian new car sales increase by 30.6%, and production increases by 30.0% in January
Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) announced that new car sales of 65,499 units in January increased by 30.6% over the same month in 2023.
PV (passenger vehicles) sales were up 33.2% to 59,394 units. CV (commercial vehicles) sales were up 9.4% to 6,105 units.
The number of Malaysian car production for January increases 30.0% over the previous year to 76,077 units.
As of the end of January, Malaysia's new motor vehicle sales are expected to decline by 7.5% to 740,000 units in 2024, said the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA), following record sales of 799,731 units in 2023.
For 2024, MAA's weaker forecast is due to several factors, including global economic uncertainty due to conflicts and geopolitical tensions, and a slight slowdown in global economic growth forecasted by the International Monetary Fund to 2.9% in 2024 from 3% in 2023.
