Overseas Markets
1. Overseas manufacturing status
Suzuki’s exports of motorcycles shipped as components
for overseas production (SET) was 2,286,000 units, 95%
compared to the previous year. In this term, sales volume
for all companies in the major ASEAN nations (Indonesia,
Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia) increased to
8,908,000 units (111% compared to the previous year).
Total Suzuki sales in these five countries amounted to
1,245,000 units, 95% compared to the previous year
however, strengthening our product lineup and the
introduction of new products into a growing scooter market
is expected to increase sales. Wholesale sales in China for
all companies were 13,800,000 units, 108% compared to
the previous year with Suzuki’s wholesale sales totaling
852,000 units, almost equal to the previous year. Future
plans include increasing sales in China and exporting a
cost effective Chinese made model to markets in regions
such as Asia, Latin America, and Africa. As of the end of
this term we have re-entered India’s 7,574,000 unit market,
introducing a new model in the underbone category, which
accounts for about 80% of the overall market, that started
shipping to dealers from March 2006. We will expand on the
number of dealers and models while evaluating market
conditions.
