Last year, Perodua manufactured a record 368,100 vehicles – way more than the 320,000-unit combined capacity of its two plants in Sungai Choh – and sold a record 358,102.
This year, the perennial record-breaker foresees production and sales reductions as it focuses on tooling up for new models and increasing self-reliance in future product development.
“For 2025, we foresee our production numbers declining 4.9% to 350,000 units from 368,100 units made in 2024. This reduction would see registration slowing by 3.7% to 345,000 units from 358,102 units last year,” said president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad.
Despite the lower sales projected, Perodua’s 2025 market share could be higher than last year. If the Malaysian Automotive Association’s lower 780,000-unit total industry volume forecast comes true, Sungai Choh will close the year with a record 44.2% market share, beating 2024’s 43.8%.
The carmaker may be more than doubling its capital expenditure to RM1.6 billion this year, but the bulk of it is going into gearing itself up for more self-reliant new model development from a people, production (including suppliers), and research and development standpoint, rather than increasing volume.
No prizes for guessing the model that’ll most strongly propel Perodua into its self-reliant future – with no suitable Daihatsu donor model, the carmaker is developing its first electric vehicle (EV) from scratch – all we know about the upcoming vehicle here.

When P2 releases figures, you can assure they did not pluck it out of thin air. Same goes to forecast figures to their vendors. Their vendors can plan and reduce wastages.
Unlike other declaring 200K units years back tapi sampai hari ni masih tak sampai-sampai despite carrying so many models.

Basically sales are for the most cheapest basic brand P2 and it indicates that people are having to buy downwards; people previously going for Toyotas have downgrade to P2. This is bad sign of our economy and how this Govt is fumbling it in the face of Trump upheavals.
Blame your laziness, not the gov. Ask why others can thrive?
