thousand units. Demand in Thailand rose approximately 8% from the previous year, to approximately
2,160 thousand units.
Under these circumstances, Honda’s consolidated unit sales in Asia for fiscal year 2013 increased
17.5% from the previous fiscal year to 7,051 thousand units. Sales rose on growth in sales of the
Activa scooter and the small Dream Yuga motorcycle in India. In Thailand, which was impacted by
floods in the previous year, sales growth was supported by brisk sales of the Wave cub-type motor-
cycle, the Click 125i scooter and certain other models.
Honda’s consolidated unit sales do not include unit sales of P.T. Astra Honda Motor in Indonesia,
which is an affiliate accounted for under the equity method. Astra Honda Motor’s unit sales for fiscal year
2013 decreased 4.3% from the previous fiscal year to 4,092 thousand units mainly due to the impact
of the Indonesian government’s regulations concerning down payments on two-wheeled vehicles.
* Based on Honda research: this only includes the following eight countries—Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, India,
Pakistan and China.
OTHER REGIONS
In Brazil, the principal market within Other Regions, total demand for motorcycles in calendar year
2012 declined approximately 15% from the previous year to approximately 1,640 thousand* units,
mainly due to stricter lending standards for retail loans.
In Other Regions (including South America, the Middle East, Africa, Oceania and other areas),
Honda’s consolidated unit sales in fiscal year 2013 decreased 10.7% from the previous fiscal year to
1,813 thousand units, mainly due to lower sales of the small motorcycle CG125 Fan, CG150 Fan and
other models. These sales declines primarily reflected stricter lending standards for retail loans in Brazil.
