Perodua purchased RM11b worth of parts from local suppliers in 2025 and will continue to play the role of ‘nation builder’ – paultan.org

Perodua has just announced record sales of 359,904 units in 2025, which is 0.5% or almost 2,000 units more than the 358,102 units sold in 2024, the previous record. The market leader generally sells everything it can make, so it’s just as proud of the 370,370 units that rolled out of the factory last year, up 0.6% from the 368,100 vehicles produced in 2024.

Perodua’s record production has led to a banner year for the local automotive ecosystem, thanks to P2’s typical localization rate of over 95% for its mainstream models, with the exception of the QV-E, Rawang’s first foray into battery-electric vehicles. For context, Proton bought RM3.2 billion worth of local parts last year.

“The entire Malaysian automotive ecosystem has benefited immensely from the RM11 billion in parts purchases from local suppliers while empowering the country’s entrepreneurs such as Perodua’s authorized dealers and traders,” said Perodua president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad.

“We will continue to play our role as nation builders as we further invest in Malaysia and its people by expanding our businesses, especially in electric vehicles and digital offerings in the future. We will further strengthen the partnerships we already have while finding new ones that will specifically benefit the local industry and the country as a whole,” he added.

Perodua Suppliers Association president Musa Zahidin Ahmad Zaidi said the increase in the automaker’s production volume and the subsequent increase in the number of parts purchased had a major impact on its members.

“The additional volume and continued commitment from Perodua have enabled us to invest and reinvest in our operations for the future. This means we can expand our workforce, modernize our business and, for some of us, expand our operations abroad,” Musa said.

“Perodua has been instrumental in building a strong dealer network and with continued sales volume, we are able to grow our business despite increasing competition from new brands. To us, Perodua represents a brand that champions Malaysian businesses and genuinely shares the industry’s prosperity with all Malaysians – for which we are very grateful,” said Rabitah Shamsudin, Chairman of the Perodua Dealer Association.
