OTODRIVER – The GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) The Series 2026 returns to Bandung, West Java. Entering its fourth edition, GIIAS Bandung 2026 will take place for five days, from September 9 to 13, 2026, at the Sudirman Grand Ballroom in Bandung.
After previously being held at ICE BSD Tangerang and Surabaya, Bandung became the third city in the GIIAS The Series 2026 series.
GAIKINDO Secretary General Kukuh Kumara stated that West Java holds a crucial position in the national automotive industry, as evidenced by its contribution to vehicle sales.
"West Java has enormous market potential. In terms of sales, this province consistently ranks second nationally with 42,080 vehicles, contributing 15.1 percent of total national sales as of April 2026," Kukuh said.
Besides the market, West Java is also one of the regions with the highest investment realization in Indonesia. According to data from the Ministry of Investment/BKPM, investment realization in West Java reached Rp296.8 trillion in 2025, the highest nationally.
This potential is also supported by the existence of a number of automotive manufacturing areas spread across West Java, especially in Bekasi, Karawang, Subang, and Purwakarta.
"The presence of a strong industrial area and rapidly growing market potential demonstrates West Java's vital role in the national economy. This is why GAIKINDO consistently holds GIIAS Bandung to meet the needs of the West Java automotive market," said Kukuh.
