Toyota IMC’s Huge Growth Starts Hurting Honda and Suzuki’s Sales

The Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA) has released the sales figures for October 2020. According to the data, the auto sector is continuing on its path to a steady recovery from the COVID-19-induced slump with passenger cars and SUV sales at 12,774 in October, amounting to a 1.26% Month-on Month (MoM) increase and a 27% Year-on-Year (YoY) increase.

The data further shows that the Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) sold 5,767 passenger vehicles in October 2020 and has experienced an MoM sales increase of 2.7% while facing a YoY sales decrease of 11.98%. The Toyota Indus Motor Company (IMC) continues on a strong upward trajectory, selling 4,611 passenger cars and SUVs in the said month and recording a YoY sales increase of 121% and an MoM sales increase of 22%.

Furthermore, as per data compiled by Topline Securities, Lucky Motors, which manufactures and distributes KIA in Pakistan, reportedly saw a 43% increase in YoY sales.

Toyota IMC continues on a steep upward trajectory while Suzuki continues to face a downward trend for the third consecutive month on a YoY basis. The business has also dipped considerably for Honda on an MoM basis, and Hyundai has also seen a slight slump as compared to the last month.

Honda Atlas, in particular, seems to be in a tough spot, as one of the automaker’s main competitors, i.e. the Toyota Yaris outsold both the City and the Civic sedans by a huge margin, with 3,058 units of Yaris and only 1,858 units of City and Civic combined having sold in October.

It is pertinent to mention, however, that despite the Pakistani Rupee being one of the best-performing currencies against the US Dollar as of late, the vehicle prices continue to soar high. The only automaker to reduce the price of their vehicle thus far, following the appreciation of the Rupee, is United Motors. The people are still waiting for other automakers to follow the same trend.
