Executive Summary
The outlook for Japan's auto industry appears bleak, following the 16th consecutive month of declining domestic sales in October, with a slide of 2%. However, BMI's recently published Japan Automotives Report suggests that all is not lost as the mini car segment, those vehicles with engines under 600cc, is making a stand. Sales in the segment rose by 1.2% year-on-year (y-o-y) to 147,848 units in October. This was the 10th consecutive month of growth in the segment, taking the total for the first 10 months of the year to 1,703,184 units. Sales for the year so far have led the Japan Mini Vehicles Association to suggest that the 2mn unit barrier could be broken this year, and consequently BMI retains a positive view of growth for the overall industry, albeit marginal at 0.5%.
A contributing factor to the success of the mini car segment is the introduction of tax breaks, which means that the tax on a mini car is just JPY7,200 compared with JPY39,500 for a larger vehicle up to 2,000cc. Manufacturers are now seeing the advantage of investing in the market, with Daihatsu pledging JPY23.5bn (US$196.5mn)
Largely as a result of its increased completely built unit (CBU) output potential, Japan has risen two places to joint 11th in BMI's Business Environment Ranking for the automotive industry in Asia. The market is still hampered by its saturation level. However, Japan boasts a well-regulated market and a stable political environment, which scores top marks as an incentive to would-be investors.
In terms of manufacturers, all of the leading domestic brands saw October sales fall in the passenger car segment. Toyota saw its sales for the month drop by 6.6% y-o-y, although it still easily dominated the landscape with sales of 126,217 units. Second and third placed Nissan and Honda registered a decline of 8.2% and 8.7% to 39,454 and 32,396 units respectively. Going forward, however, BMI expects Toyota's overall industry dominance to be further strengthened by its recent acquisition of a 5.9% stake in commercial vehicle manufacturer Isuzu. Toyota already commanded 44% of the commercial vehicle market in 2005 through its own 34% share, plus 10% from Hino.
