The Malaysian car market grew by 3.3% in 2013
- The Malaysian market ended 2013 with a sales volume of 570 000 PC , setting a new record.
- The year 2013 as a whole recorded an increase of 3.3% compared to 2012, continuing the trend that began a dozen years ago. Since 2006, the Malaysian market has thus increased from 370 000 to 570 000 units.
- This increase is explained by a comparative growth of the Malaysian economy but also thanks to a more aggressive marketing policy of manufacturers through the launch of many new models on the market.
- By manufacturer, the national groups Perodua (34% of the market in 2013) and Proton (24%) account for over half of the market (58%). Behind these two leaders (Perodua and Proton) comes the Toyota group (11% market share), Honda (9%) and Renault-Nissan (8%).
- Perodua brand cars (Alza, Myvi) and Proton brand cars (Saga, Persona, Exora) monopolize the top five places. The leading foreign models are the Toyota Corolla (42 849 units), Nissan Livina (33 475 units), Honda City (17 581 units), Toyota Avanza (13 317 units) and Honda Civic (11 053 units).
- The market is dominated by traditional sedans. However, there is an increase in SUVs (+1.5%) at the expense of MPVs (-1.6%).
