As of the 2024 event, the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show is the second largest auto show in the world after the Beijing Motor Show.[7][8]
Prior to its establishment, the Association of Indonesian Automotive Industries (GAIKINDO) formerly established and hosted the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) between 1986 to 2014, which since 2000, it was organized by Dyandra Promosindo, a subsidiary of Kompas Gramedia. The 1986 event, originally known as the Gaikindo Car Exhibition, was first held in Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) with 13 exhibitors participated the event. The show was renamed to the Jakarta Auto Expo in 1989, then later the Gaikindo Auto Expo in 2000, before adopting to its current name, Indonesia International Motor Show in 2006 after it was recognized as an international-scale exhibition by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA). Since 2009, IIMS relocated to its current venue, Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo), located at Kemayoran in Pademangan, North Jakarta.
The Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) was first announced by Gaikindo in February 2015,[9] after the association dissolved their partnership with Dyandra, resulting IIMS continued to run without Gaikindo's authorization from 2015 onwards.[10] Differentiating from IIMS, GIIAS is held at a different venue, Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE), located at BSD City in Pagedangan, Tangerang Regency, Banten, with a total space of 220.000 m2 (2,368.06 sq ft),[11] and is organized by Seven Events. In 3 March 2015, GIIAS received a full support and was sanctioned by the OICA.[12][13]
In late July 2015, Gaikindo announced that the 2015 event in Tangerang would be later followed by two continuing spin-off events held in Makassar, South Sulawesi on November 2015, and Surabaya, East Java in December 2015,[14] establishing GIIAS as a series of automotive show events in major Indonesian cities. The Makassar event is held at the Celebes Convention Center (CCC), located at Tanjung Bunga in the Tamalate district,[15] while the Surabaya event is held at the Grand City Convention & Exhibition, located at Ketabang in the Genteng district.[16]
Following an inaugurated opening ceremony held with a visit from the then 12th Vice President of Indonesia, Jusuf Kalla, the 23rd Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show was opened to the public in 20 August 2015, marking the establishment of GIIAS.[17]
At its establishment, the main Tangerang event was started by covering a total gross area of 91.577 m2 (985.73 sq ft),[18] with a participation of 40 different brands (22 exhibited passenger car brands, 10 exhibited commercial vehicle brands, 6 motorcycle brands and 2 parallel importers).[19][20] The number of area space and participants were later grew through the following years of the event, with the 2024 show broke a record of over 120.000 m2 (1,291.67 sq ft) of space, with a participation of 55 different brands.[21]
The first edition of the exhibition, the 23rd Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show was held from 20 to 30 August 2015, marking its split-off from the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS).[17] Notably, its run was held alongside the 23rd IIMS at the same time.[22] It was followed by the Makassar event held from 25 to 29 November,[3] and later the Surabaya event held from 9 to 13 December.[6]
Lexus[23][24] and Porsche[25] made their first Indonesian auto show appearances at this exhibition as branded exhibits. Aston Martin and McLaren were represented by exhibits organized by parallel importers, instead of branded exhibits hosted by their company themselves.[26] Proton and Subaru were originally planned to participate the show, but were quietly pulled out from the event shortly thereafter.[27] Maxus, under the partnership with Malaysian distributor The Weststar Group as Weststar Maxus, also joined this exhibition to mark their entry to the Indonesian commercial vehicle market.[28]
Initially targeted to reach 380,000 attendees, the 2015 show was visited by 451,654 visitors.[29]
The 24th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show was held from 11 to 21 August 2016.[63] Coincidentally, it marks the first time the show also ran alongside Indonesia's Independence Day that mostly held in 17 August.[64]
For 2016, the show no longer held simultaneously alongside IIMS, as the latter was rescheduled to an April timeframe to avoid scheduling conflicts with the former.[65] Among several automakers returning from the previous year's show,[66] joining the exhibition for the first time were Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) (Jeep and Dodge Journey)[67][68] and Kia.[69] Ford Motor Company didn't return for the 2016 show due to the brand's ceased Indonesian operations in January, seven months before the event.[70] Porsche, which exhibited in 2015, declined to return for the 2016 show.[71] Renault, which originally planned to use the event to introduce the second-generation Koleos and Kwid for the Indonesian market, cancelled their exhibit for the 2016 show, and were pulled out about a month earlier before the event, citing due to "technical difficulties".[72] Wuling Motors also joined this exhibition to mark their entry to the Indonesian automotive market.[73]

The 28th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show was planned to be held from 7 to 17 August 2020,[134] but it was pushed back to 22 October to 1 November 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[135] In 18 August 2020, Seven Events announced that the 2020 exhibition would be eventually cancelled due to time constraints caused by large-scale social restrictions that halted the plans of the show.[136]
The 28th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show was planned to be held from 12 to 22 August 2021,[137] but it was pushed back to 9 to 19 September 2021,[138] and later, 11 to 21 November 2021 due to Indonesia's Community Activities Restrictions Enforcement during the COVID-19 pandemic.[139][140]

The 30th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show was held from 10 to 20 August 2023.[168] Hozon Auto (Neta)[169] and Great Wall Motors (Haval, Ora, Tank)[170] also joined this exhibition to mark their entries to the Indonesian automotive market.
The 31st Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show was held from 18 to 28 July 2024.[197] This marks the second time the show was held in July since 2019, due to the country's 2024 general election period.[198] Unlike previous years where press preview days were held simultaneously alongside the public opening ceremonies, the press preview day for the 2024 show was held in 17 July, a day before the show's opening.[199]
For 2024, the show was greatly expanded compared to its previous renditions,[200] with an additional eleventh hall being added, located outside of the tenth hall in the exhibition's eastern entrance, in a form of a large tent. The eleventh hall occupies the exhibited motorcycle brands and supporting industries.[201] With the addition of the eleventh hall, the 2024 show covers a total area space of over 120.000 m2 (1,291.67 sq ft), with a participation of 55 different exhibited brands (31 passenger car brands, 4 commercial vehicle brands and 20 motorcycle brands) and over 120 supporting industries.[21] Gaikindo claimed that the 2024 show is the second largest automotive show in the world, only behind China's Beijing Motor Show.[7]
Among several automakers returning from the previous year's show, the 2024 show was also joined by five new exhibited automakers; BAIC,[202] BYD,[203] GAC Aion, Jetour[204] and VinFast.[205] BYD and VinFast marked their GIIAS' debuts, while BAIC and GAC Aion marked the exhibition as their first participations of an Indonesian automotive show, while Jetour used the exhibition to mark their official entry to the Indonesian automotive market.
Additionally, the 2024 show also saw the re-introduction of smart, a marque of Mercedes-Benz whose currently under a joint-venture with Geely, after a 6-year absence in the Indonesian automotive market.[206]
A smaller spin-off of the show, Gaikindo Jakarta Auto Week, was announced at the same time of the cancellation of the 2020 exhibition.[248] The event is held at Jakarta Convention Center in Senayan.
Originally, the 1st Gaikindo Jakarta Auto Week was planned to be held from 21 to 29 November 2020 as a replacement event for the 2020 edition of GIIAS, despite to COVID-19 concerns,[249] but was eventually moved to 9 to 17 January 2021,[250] 6 to 14 March 2021,[251] 5 to 13 March 2022,[252] and later, 12 to 20 March 2022.[253][254]
