Malaysians bought a record amount of cars last year, pushing 2023 auto sales close to the 800,000 units mark. The all-time high figure of 799,731 units represents an 11% growth from the 721,177 units achieved …

While both national and non-national makes saw growth, Perodua and Proton were largely responsible for the elevated numbers. Last year, P2 and P1 sold a combined 481,300 units, which translates to 66.9% share of the passenger vehicle market. This is up from 65.1% in 2022.

The current national market share of 66.9% is the highest since 2002, when it was at 78%. There was a big surge in non-national sales from 2002 to 2005, and it stayed at around 55:45 until 2012, when asaw non-national makes overtake P1/P2 for the first time in 2014, when they held 53% of the market. This spell where foreign makes outsold P1/P2 lasted for five years, and the switchback happened in 2019.

Proton has been banking on rebadged Geelys that are direct rivals to Toyota/Honda, eating into the N-N pie
