Brazil Autos Report Q3 2012
http://www.marketreportsonline.com/161944-brazil-autos-repo.html
Early indications would suggest that 2012 will be a difficult year for the Brazilian auto sector, as a combination of higher auto import taxes and revised regulations combine to depress demand.
New vehicle sales in Brazil in Q112 struggled to match Q111 levels, declining by 0.8% year-on-year (yo- y), to 818,364 units, according to estimates from Brazil’s National Association of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (Anfavea). We believe the contraction was the result of a slew of recent regulatory changes in the autos industry, and we have now revised down our 2012 sales forecast from the 6% y-o-y growth we had previously expected to growth of nearly 4% y-o-y. We are now also more cautious about growth in 2013, on the back of restrictions in vehicle imports and the inability of the domestic production segment to meet local demand.
Vietnam Autos Report Q3 2012
http://www.marketreportsonline.com/161794-vietnam-autos-rep.html
New vehicle sales in Vietnam fell by 2% year on year (y-o-y) over 2011 to reach 110,020 completely built units (CBUs). This figure was slightly below BMI’s forecast of 118,824 CBUs and reflected both falling demand for commercial vehicles, as well as ongoing disruption to new car supplies caused by the Thai flooding of October and November 2011. We had cautioned of a slight downside risk to our forecast in our Q112 report, which was written before the Thai flooding had reached its peak. Final production figures for Vietnam in 2011 have now been released by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA). This showed that Vietnam produced a total of 45,980 vehicles, an impressive increase of 27.2% y-o-y. The headline figure was made up of 43,780 passenger cars and 2,200 commercial vehicles.
Germany Autos Report Q3 2012
http://www.marketreportsonline.com/162968-germany-autos-rep.html
After a nearly 9% year-on-year (y-o-y) growth in vehicles sales during 2011, new passenger car sales in Germany grew a modest 2% y-o-y (to just over 1mn units) during the first four months of the year, in line with BMI’s forecast of a marginal 1% y-o-y growth in car sales..Although commercial vehicle demand has fallen marginally this year, our expectations of macroeconomic activity recovering in Q212 and Q312, and the sharp rise in business expectations in recent months, indicate that our forecast of a 5% growth in commercial vehicle sales remain on the cards. We accordingly keep our 2012 forecast of a cumulative 1.5% y-o-y growth unchanged this quarter. Similarly, we are cautious about any significant growth in German vehicle exports and production in view of economic headwinds in the eurozone, and accordingly forecast growth of 2.4% y-o-y and 4.4% y-o-y respectively during the year. The caution was also visible in Mercedes-Benz’s plans to reduce its research and development (R&D) budget by more than EUR1.5bn (US$1.94bn) annually, as revealed by R&D Chief Thomas Webber. The carmaker said it will achieve its target by reducing the number of vehicle platforms and using similar components across segments.
Japan Autos Report Q3 2012
http://www.marketreportsonline.com/162979-japan-autos-repor.html
A combination of government subsidies and a low base effect from March 2011 when the earthquake and tsunami hit, contributed to a 71% year-on-year (y-o-y) increase in Japanese vehicle sales in March, taking Q112 sales up by 47.5%. BMI has revised its forecast for sales of small and mini cars upwards in light of the December announcement regarding subsidies, although we do not expect this current rate of growth to be sustainable throughout the year, particularly as some leading executives have voiced concerns that the fund for subsidies will run out before the deadline of January 2013.
Mexico Autos Report Q3 2012
http://www.marketreportsonline.com/164989-mexico-autos-repo.html
BMI’s optimism towards autos production in Mexico remains high as we enter the second half of 2012, despite a new quota system on auto imports having been implemented by Brazil and the possibilities of similar restrictions being implemented by Argentina. Thanks to strong demand from Mexico’s traditional trade partner, the US, Ford Motor recently committed a hefty US$1.3bn investment to Mexico while Germany’s Volkswagen (VW) has revealed plans to produce 20% more cars in Mexico compared with last year. VW’s premium car division Audi is also reportedly looking to invest up to US$2bn in building a new plant for production of its Q5 sports utility vehicle (SUV) in Mexico by 2016, with Honda Motor currently constructing a new plant near Celaya in Central Mexico for production of its subcompact Fit model at a cost of approximately US$800mn.
