Key Insights On The Automotive Sector Of Thailand
The poor performance of Thailand's new vehicle sales in the first half of 2006 continued for the remainder of the year to November, falling 4.5% year-on-year (y-o-y). BMI's Thailand Automotives Report suggests that many of the contributing factors will not be addressed in time for full-year sales to recover and, with this in mind, BMI forecasts a decline in the region of 7% by year-end to 652,556 units. Worthy of note within this projection is that passenger cars are expected to carry the market, which has traditionally been focused on the commercial segment and the pick-up truck market in particular.
Manufacturers continue to invest in Thailand, however, as the export market continues to provide a lifeline. Toyota used its international innovative multi-purpose vehicle (IMV) project to ramp up exports from Thailand and overtook perennial export leader Mitsubishi in 2005. Competition will heat up when full-year results for 2006 become available, following the launch of Mitsubishi's response, the Triton. Ford and affiliate Mazda have invested in expanding their production capacity by 20,000 units as part of their regional export programme. Activity in the export segment has led BMI to forecast export growth of 15%, compared with just 6% import growth.
Thailand's ideal location as an export hub has contributed to its ranking of joint seventh in BMI's Business Environment Ranking for the automotive industry in Asia Pacific. The country's political risk rating has been raised slightly now that the initial uncertainty surrounding the military coup is fading, although the country's score for completely built unit (CBU) output potential has reduced on the back of a slowing domestic market. Thailand also scores above average for its regulatory environment as it has WTO obligations to meet and is a central figure in the ASEAN trade bloc. However, the government's inconsistency on vehicle fuels can be a deterrent for manufacturers.
Toyota continued to lead the Thai market in the year to November with a share of over 42%. This can be largely attributed to the IMV project, which has seen the company launch three new commercial vehicles in a market where the company is already a strong force. Third-placed Honda registered the best performance for the 11-month period. As well as being one of only two of the top 10 manufacturers to increase its sales y-o-y, the Japanese firm posted growth of almost 20%. Full-year sales for 2006 are likely to contrast with previous years, in showing a swing towards manufacturers with a strong passenger car portfolio, such as Honda, rather than those focusing on the commercial segment.
