As a result, Total Industry Volume (TIV) for June 2025 dropped significantly by 21% from 69,442 units charted in May 2025. MAA attributes the lowered TIV to both June 2025’s shorter working month (19 days), and week-long production pause for Hari Raya Aidiladha.

Additionally, MAA says it’s maintaining its forecast for the TIV 2025 at 780,000 units based on a resilient domestic economy, Bank Negara’s decision to lower OPR by 25 basis points to 2.75%, as well as growth of xEVs (electrified vehicles), amongst many.
