Malaysia’s automotive sector continues to show strong momentum, with Perodua projecting the nation’s total industry volume (TIV) to reach 820,000 units in 2025. This outlook surpasses the 816,747 units previously reported, reflecting sustained consumer demand as buyers remain focused on value-driven vehicles.

For the year ending 2025, Perodua recorded solid operational gains. Vehicle production rose slightly by 0.6% to 370,370 units, compared with 368,100 units in 2024. Sales followed a similar upward trend, increasing 0.5% year-on-year to 359,904 units from 358,102 units previously. These achievements enabled Perodua to surpass its own records set the year before.

Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad, highlighted that the company’s internal estimates place its market share at an impressive 43.9%. He noted that both production and registration figures in 2025 marked new highs for the brand, underscoring its continued leadership in the Malaysian market.

Model-wise, Perodua’s core lineup remained dominant. The Bezza once again led national registrations with 100,488 units sold, marking the second consecutive year it exceeded the 100,000-unit milestone. It was followed by the Axia with 84,291 units and the Myvi with 72,724 units. Together, these three models retained their positions as the country’s top three best-registered vehicles, a testament to their enduring popularity among Malaysian motorists.

Dato’ Sri Zainal also pointed out that newer offerings such as the QV-E and Traz are expected to make a more meaningful contribution to overall sales volumes from 2026 onwards. Beyond sales figures, Perodua’s performance has delivered wide-ranging benefits across the automotive ecosystem, including RM11 billion worth of parts purchases from local vendors, while also supporting authorised dealers and stockists nationwide.

Looking ahead, Perodua reaffirmed its commitment to nation-building through continued investment in Malaysia, particularly in electric vehicle development and digital initiatives. The company also plans to deepen existing collaborations while forging new partnerships to strengthen the local industry and contribute to broader economic growth.

Industry stakeholders echoed this positive impact. Perodua Suppliers Association President, Tuan Haji Musa Zahidin Ahmad Zaidi, said the higher production volumes and consistent support from Perodua have enabled suppliers to reinvest, expand their workforce, modernise operations and, in some cases, venture into overseas markets. Meanwhile, Perodua Dealer Association President, Cik Rabitah Shamsudin, noted that the brand’s strong sales performance has helped dealers grow their businesses despite increasing competition.
