The Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2026 concluded Saturday, February 14th, without organizers disclosing visitor numbers or transaction totals, according to a statement released at the close of the event.
Dyandra Promosindo, the promoter of the annual automotive exhibition held at JIExpo Kemayoran in Jakarta, acknowledged the event’s success in attracting attendees despite ongoing national economic uncertainties. Though, President Director Dazwar Marpaung declined to provide specific figures related to attendance or sales, stating, “We are grateful to God for providing smoothness in the midst of national economic uncertainty,” as reported by detikOto.
The 11-day exhibition, which officially ended February 14th but will conclude logistical operations on February 15th, featured 36 car brands, 26 motorcycle brands, 71 local small and medium-sized enterprises (UMKM), 21 creative industries, and 63 featured programs. Several new vehicle models, across both two and four-wheeled segments, were officially unveiled during the show.
This year’s IIMS marks the last time the event will be held in early February. Dyandra Promosindo announced that future iterations of the show will be shifted to mid-year, with the next IIMS scheduled for May 6-16, 2027, also at JIExpo Kemayoran. Marpaung stated the decision was made to capitalize on a more stable economic climate and increased consumer spending, as reported by LewatLensa.
The 2026 IIMS saw an expansion of the exhibition area to 156,170 square meters, a significant increase from the previous year’s 133,547 square meters. This expansion included the addition of the Grand Hall, hosting exhibitors from the automotive accessories sector, including the Indonesian Automotive Accessories Business Association (PAHAMI), and other supporting industries, according to LewatLensa.
While the total number of participants exceeded 190 and 62 automotive brands were represented, the specific economic impact of the event remains undisclosed. Marpaung emphasized the resilience of the Indonesian economy and the continued strength of the automotive market, but did not offer data to support these claims.
