Asia and China

Consolidated Asian sales of Toyota vehicles in fiscal 2009 was 904,892 units, down 5.4% from fiscal 2008. In 2008, Toyota had a market share in Asia of 14.6% and achieved annual retail unit sales of approximately 810 thousand vehicles. The growth in Asian sales is attributable to the increase in sales in Indonesia. Toyota’s principal Asian markets are Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan.

In China, vehicle sales increased 7% from 8.50 million in 2007 to 9.10 million in 2008, and the market has expanded from 2007 despite a temporary slowdown in growth. In this market, Toyota’s sales was 590 thousand vehicles. In the locally produced passenger vehicle market (total of approximately 5.6 million units), Toyota’s sales was 510 thousand units for a market share of 9%. Guangzhou Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.’s Camry, which commenced sales in June 2006, and Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.’s Corolla, which underwent a model change in May 2007, greatly contributed to the sales. As for Toyota’s sales network, Toyota has been expanding the sales network for locally produced vehicles in cooperation with Chinese joint venture partners under Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. and Guanqi Toyota Motor Co., Ltd., and for imported vehicles, Toyota has also been expanding the Lexus brand sales network. Going forward, Toyota plans to increase sales by expanding the number of dealers and the product lineup for both locally produced and imported vehicles. In addition, as the market in China develops, Toyota plans to promote the so-called “Value Chain” businesses such as used cars, services, financing and insurance.
