South Africa auto sales down 14.0% in June, down 7.4% in H1 2024
On July 1, the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (NAAMSA) announced that sales of new passenger and commercial vehicles in South Africa decreased 14.0% year-on-year to 40,072 units in June 2024. In the first half of 2024 sales volume decreased 7.4% year-over-year to 246,062 units.
Passenger vehicles sales in June 2024 represented a 9.0% decrease from the same month in 2023, LCV sales represented a 24.3% decrease, MCV represented a 27.7% decrease, HCV sales represented a 20.5% decrease, Extra Heavy CV sales were down 12.3%, and bus sales were up 89.5%.
Among passenger vehicle sales by manufacturers in June, Toyota sold 9,490 units (25.3% share), VW sold 5,454 units (14.6% share) and Suzuki sold 4,297 units (11.5% share). Among commercial vehicle sales in June, Daimler Trucks and Buses sold 424 units (16.4% share), FAW sold 401 units (15.5% share), and Isuzu sold 291 units (11.2% share).
Sales to dealers accounted for 82.5%, sales to vehicle rental industry 11.0%, sales to government 3.6%, and sales to corporate fleets 2.9%.
Exports in June increased by 3.6% y/y to 28,306 units.
According to NAAMSA, "New vehicle sales further declined in June 2024 as South African households continued to grapple with consistent cost pressures in a weak economic environment with affordability remaining a decisive factor in new vehicle purchasing decisions. Cumulative new vehicle sales for the first six months of the year were now tracking 7,6% below the corresponding period 2023, in line with industry expectations of a taxing first half of the year. However, the markets seem to have responded positively to the announcement of the new Cabinet and along with a third month of no load-shedding, a further welcomed relief at the fuel pumps in July 2024 reducing inflationary pressure, and likely lower interest rates to commence before year-end, brighter economic prospects for the second half of the year are steadily improving. South Africa’s seventh administration now has a unique opportunity to accelerate implementing structural reforms and turning the economy around. A keystone of this is Operation Vulindlela that has already resulted in many gains for the country, including the opening up of the electricity market and building better relations between businesses and government to resolve other crises areas."
