Japanese carmakers produce only 33% of their cars in Japan
- Japanese carmakers have grown a lot in the world since 2005, despite the arrival of Chinese carmakers who - admittedly - have entered the Chinese market rather than the international market, at least for now.
- The production of Japanese carmakers has thus increased from 20 million vehicles in 2005 to nearly 30 million in 2018, representing an increase of 45% in 13 years, while the production of Chinese carmakers (excluding joint ventures) increased at the same time from 3 million to almost 9 million vehicles.
- Japanese carmakers themselves have greatly developed in China, in response to demand from local customers, increasing from 900,000 units to 4.5 million in 18 years. In total, the production volume of Japanese carmakers in China now represents more than half of the volume produced outside Japan, against less than 10% in 2005. In 2021, Japanese carmakers produced 4.5 million vehicles in China against 7.5 million in Japan.
- And this production outside Japan now represents 67% of the global production of Japanese carmakers, against 47% in 2005. This production volume has thus increased from 10 million units in 2005 to 15 million in 2021, while production in Japan remained stable over the period.
- On the other hand, the production of Japanese carmakers fell in the USA, going from 3.5 million units in 2005 to 2.8 million in 2021. It also fell in Europe, from 1.5 million units in 2005 to 1 million in 2021.
