GAIKINDO Wholesale Sales: What Do the Numbers Mean?
Wholesale sales refer to vehicles delivered by manufacturers to dealers. They are different from retail sales, which measure vehicles sold by dealers to end customers.
Wholesale figures are useful for understanding manufacturer performance, dealer inventory flows, and broader automotive market trends. However, they do not necessarily reflect the number of vehicles purchased by Indonesian consumers during the same period.
| Sales Indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Wholesale Sales | Vehicles delivered by manufacturers to dealers |
| Retail Sales | Vehicles sold by dealers to customers |
| Year-on-Year Growth | Change compared with the same period in the previous year |
| Market Share | A brand’s share of total sales in the relevant market and period |
