OTHER REGIONS
Total industry demand for automobiles in Brazil*, one of the principal markets among the Other
Regions, increased approximately 6% from the previous year to approximately 3,630 thousand units
in calendar year 2012. This growth mainly reflected government policies such as tax breaks for auto-
mobile purchases.
In Other Regions (including South America, the Middle East, Africa, Oceania and other areas),
consolidated unit sales in fiscal year 2013 increased 47.5% from the previous fiscal year to 298
thousand units. This result was mainly due to the positive impact of the launch of the all-new Civic
in Brazil.
On the production front, Honda’s unit production in Brazil increased 67.8% from the previous
fiscal year to 135 thousand units in fiscal year 2013.
