Assessment of Japanese Sales (PC+LUV) over the first 6 months of 2015

- The Japanese automotive market (PC + LUVs) fell by 11% to 2.68 million units in the first half of 2015, against 3 million in the same period last year. Sales of passenger cars decreased by 12.3% (2.25 million units) while those of light utility vehicles fell only by 3.3% (0.43 million units).

- Midgets (K cars) represented 37.5% of the Japanese market for PC in this period (850 000 units), slightly down compared to the same period last year. Cars (1.4 million units) thus represent 62.5% of the Japanese market for PC of which only 12% of SUV (170 000 units). Japan is a country where the proportion of SUV sales is the lowest since the latter does not exceed 10% of the overall market (the figure reaches over 20% in Europe and more than 30% in USA). This finding is surprising in as much as Japan manufactures many SUV (for export).

- The Toyota group (-10% to 1.125 million units) holds 42% of the Japanese market, being both present in the Midget category (Daihatsu) and in the car category (Toyota, Lexus). In second place Honda (-18% decreased to 394 000 units), ahead of Suzuki (-15.6% decreased to 341 000 units), Nissan (-15.3% decreased to 333 000 units), Mazda (+ 14.5% to 139 000 units), Subaru (stable at 88 000 units), Mitsubishi (-20.4% decreased to 75 000 units) and Isuzu (+ 4.5% to 36 000 units).

- By model, the Toyota Prius C dominates the Japanese market (121 000 units), ahead of the Honda N-BOX (107 000 units), Daihatsu Tanto (88 000 units), Nissan DAYZ (87 000 units), Daihatsu Move (75 000 units), Honda Jazz (67 000 units) and Suzuki Alto (61 000 units).

Assessment of Japanese Production (PC+LUV) over the first 6 months of 2015

- In the first half of 2015, Japanese car production (PC + LUVs) in Japan declined by 9% to 4.6 million units. This decline is mainly due to the decline of the Japanese market (-11%) which accounts for large part of the local production (55% of total volume in 2015). So there has been a clear slowdown in production after three years during which the country significantly exceeded nine million units.

- Over the whole 2015 year, it is likely that it will fall to around 8.5 million units produced, a figure almost equivalent to that experienced in 2011. In the first half of 2015, the production of passenger cars Japan was down 10.4% (3.9 million units) while that of light utility vehicles was down only 0.8% (0.7 million units).

- The Toyota group, traditionally the first automobile manufacturer in Japan, is still well ahead of all its competitors but is down by 7% to 2.04 million units over this period. In second position, Nissan (+ 5% reaching 492 000 units) is one of the few manufacturers to see its production increase in Japan this year. Suzuki follows closely behind Nissan (-10% to 491 000 units), ahead of Mazda (-6% to 458 000 units), Subaru (up 3% to 346 000 units) and Honda (-37% to 330 000 units) that suffers most from the current environment. Mitsubishi (-18% to 317 000 units) and Isuzu (stable at 134 000 units) remain dead last.

- By model, the Toyota Land Cruiser / Land Cruiser Prado (Lexus LX / GX) are the vehicles the most produced in Japan over this period (180,000 units), ahead of the Toyota RAV4 (158 000 units), Toyota Prius C (147 000 units) and Toyota Prius (144 000 units).
