The sales figures of the Philippine automotive industry are on record highs again in July.
Based on combined sales reports for July 2014 from the Chamber of Automobile Manufacturers of the Philippines,
Inc. (CAMPI), the Truck Manufacturers Association (TMA) and the Association of Vehicle Importers and

Distributors (AVID), the cumulative growth of the Philippine auto industry is is rated at 29.5% compared to the same
period last year. The industry was able to register 23,741 units in July 2014 as opposed to 18,332 units sold in July
2013 (+5,409 units, 29.5% growth).
CAMPI and TMA sold a total of 20,730 units in July 2014 versus 15,689 units during the same period last year, giving
the two groups a combined growth rate of 32.1%.
AVID sold 3,036 units in July 2014 (see note below) versus 2,802 units in the same month last year, giving them a
growth rate of 8%. Check out the table below:

Based on the figures, Toyota is the clear leader with a record breaking 10,079 units in sales, the first time that a local
car maker entered the 5 digit range in monthly sales. Toyota execs cite the strong sales performance of the Vios and the
Innova in the market, propelling TMP to a commanding 42.5% share in the auto industry. The figure represents a
growth of 3,991 units or a 65.6% increase in sales.
In second is Mitsubishi with 3,776 units sold in July (+3.5%). MMPC now has a market share of 15.9%. In third
is Hyundai with 1,952 units in sales (+5.9%) for a market share of 8.2%. Interestingly Ford is inching closer towards
Hyundai as the Blue Oval reported 1,723 units sold; a staggering 35.3% growth in sales.
Honda sprang a surprise in July as the company was able to sell 1,353 units (+7.1%). It is the first time in 2014
that Honda registered a growth in monthly sales compared to the same month the previous year, enabling the company
to take the fifth spot in July. The move meant that Isuzu, at 1,012 units sold (-7.5%), slides down to sixth.
Two hard chargers took up the seventh and eighth spots in the industry for July - Kia and Chevrolet. Kia was able to
sell 828 units in July for a massive growth rate of 48.7%, but Chevrolet is hot on their heels at 729 units sold and a
growth rate of 108.3%. In ninth and tenth are Nissan with 637 units (-7.9%) and Suzuki with 579 units (+9.2%),
respectively, followed by Mazda at 340 units (+22.3%) and Subaru at 253 units (-21.4%)
In the premium sector newcomer Volkswagen was able to leapfrog ahead of Peugeot, as the German brand sold 57
units versus 40 from the French. The Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge group sold a total of 31 units while Volvo is at 9.
In the luxury sector BMW still leads the way at 60 units followed by Lexus at 44 units and Mercedes-Benz at 25 units.
The PGA Cars group reported 20 units total, while Mini sold a total of 17 units.
So far these three main Philippine auto industry groups (CAMPI, TMA and AVID) are the only ones who report
official sales figures. AutoIndustriya.com will begin collating sales numbers from other independent distributors (such
as the Chinese brands, Indian brands) soon.

The sales report card is in and after combining the numbers from the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the
Philippines (CAMPI), the Truck Manufacturers Association (TMA) and the Association of Vehicle Importers
and Distribution (AVID), the Philippine automotive industry registered a growth of 28%.

Based on the combined figures from January to June 2014, the Philippine automotive industry had a total of 126,659

PH auto industry sets new sales record in 2014

Combined 2014 CAMPI, TMA and AVID sales reports

The numbers are in, and it seems the Philippine automotive industry has completed another landmark year in terms of sales figures.
As we had forecasted at the end of Q3 2014, the sales of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc.
(CAMPI), the Truck Manufacturers Association (TMA) and the Association of Vehicle Importers and Distributors
(AVID) were on course to breach the 270,000 sales milestone based on their Q1-Q3 growth percentage.
Well, they came very close to it. As it stands, 269,841 brand new vehicles were sold by the three major industry groups in 2014.
Compared to 2013's 212,281 units, the industry experienced 27.1% growth in 2014, a staggering increase compared to the growth
between 2012 and 2013 at 15.0%.
Below is the complete 2014 sales chart.

The Top Three

Based on the leaderboard, Toyota, Mitsubishi and Hyundai held on to their top three spots, respectively.
Toyota has a commanding lead after selling 105,635 units in 2014, growing by 40.5% and nabbing a 39.1% share of the market. In
terms of unit sales volume, Toyota leads the way with an increase of 30,474 units in 2014.
Mitsubishi likewise experienced a significant growth at 16.0%, bringing their annual total to 50,085 units for a market share of 18.6%.
Hyundai was able to hold their position in third place with 23,019 units for a market share of 8.5%, though their 4.5% growth in 2014
is significantly lower compared to 2013's 11.9%.
4th to 6th
Ford sprung the surprise in 2014, as the company managed to sell 20,341 units in 2014. The blue oval grew by 53.1% over their 2013
tally. Ford's performance earns them a solid fourth place just 2,678 units behind Hyundai and 6,207 units ahead of Isuzu.
Strong as Ford's growth may have been, Isuzu was able to deliver a remarkable increase in 2014 given that they just have three models
for private customers. As it stands, Isuzu sold 14,134 units in 2014, a growth of 19.9% over 2013 and garnering them a berth at fifth.
Honda launched model after model in 2014, but the number of new models didn't translate as quickly to sales growth. Honda's tally of
13,378 (+0.2%) means the Japanese automaker slid two places from their fourth place in 2013 to sixth in 2014.
7th to 12th
In seventh is Kia with 8,176 units sold in 2014 (+37.4%), recapturing their loss in 2013 when their sales dipped from 7,527 units in
2012 to 5,950 units in 2013. Perhaps their new Pacquiao-led PBA team is having an effect on their sales after all, and they're now in
seventh place in the industry.

Following close behind them in eighth place is Chevrolet with 8,046 units which, at 59.1% growth, is the biggest gainer in terms of
percentages in the industry. An overwhelming majority of Chevrolet's sales stems from the commercial vehicle segment, no doubt
fueled by the strong sales performance of the Trailblazer SUV.
In ninth is Nissan with 7,473 units in 2014; a dip of -5.3% compared to 2013's 7,893 units. Nissan Philippines is still in their transition
phase after unifying the brand under one national sales company and their changes have only begun to take hold, though we think they
need stronger contenders in the entry-level segments (i.e. subcompact hatch and sedan) to better capture the market's attention.
Rounding out the top ten is Suzuki. At 6,884 units, Suzuki grew their sales by an impressive 38.3% after the company launched a few
new models in 2014.
In eleventh place is hard charging Mazda, as the company sold 3,632 units in 2014 for a growth of 51.0% over 2013's 2,406 units.
Mazda's SkyActiv charge was undoubtedly led by the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 this past 2014.
In twelfth place is Subaru. At 3,068 units sold in 2014, Subaru grew by 4.4%, though their upcoming models in 2015 could have a
significant impact on that number.
The premium and luxury sectors
In the European segment comprised of Volkswagen, Peugeot, Mini and Volvo, it's newcomer Volkswagen that led 2014 with 612
units sold. Peugeot is in a solid second with 428 units, followed by Mini with 135 units and Volvo with 113 units.
In the Luxury sector BMW was the clear leader with 722 units sold in 2014, an increase of 10.6% over 2013's tally of 653
units. Lexus took second place in the luxury segment with 475 units sold in 2014 (+11.5%) versus Mercedes-Benz at 471 units for
the year (+17.5%).
There was a bit of controversy regarding the numbers of Mercedes-Benz after a post-deadline addition of 16 units to their tally, though
CAMPI has disallowed it after a review.
NOTE: The numbers reflected above do not take into account many of the non-aligned and independent distributors such as Land
Rover, Jaguar, Ferrari, Maserati, BYD, Chery, Tata, Foton, Haima, et. al.

explains, As projected during the industry planning session conducted for 2015, demand from the BPO market has boosted the sale of
the sub-compact segment. Industry continues to respond with the right product mix and very attractive financing package to meet this
demand.
The commercial vehicles segment, which accounted for 60 percent of total sales, meanwhile added 37,831 units. This is 13 percent
higher than the first three months sale of 33,595 units sold in the same period last year. Within the commercial vehicle category,
trucks and buses posted a 69 percent growth with 706 units sold compared to last years year-to-date sales of 419 units. According to
Atty. Gutierrez, this is mainly due to the increasing patronage from the public utility sector complying with the governments refleeting program.
Luxury category of both segments tallied year-to-date sales of 510 units. All the 3 brands (BMW, Mercedes Benz, Lexus) registered
impressive growth from the same quarter last year, with Lexus posting the highest growth rate of 73%.
