The industry was even exempt from the ASEAN Free Trade Area agreement (AFTA), drafted in 1992. In addition, even domestically located foreign companies are required by law to purchase/manufacture certain parts or components locally.

In addition, the distribution and repair network is crucial in the motorbike industry due to servicing and maintenance needs. Based on this aspect, it would be difficult for new competitors to enter the market due to a lack of distribution network and service centers.
