2013-03-21 13:37:44 - New Transportation market report from Business Monitor International: "Mexico Autos Report Q2 2013"

Executive Summary

In 2012, passenger car sales in Mexico increased 9.8%, to 649,333 units. Light commercial vehicle (LCV) sales increased 7.4% over the year, to 338,414 units. For much of the year, we had forecast growth of 8.7% in the passenger car segment, and 9.0% in the LCV segment. After strong growth in the beginning of the year, we believed that passenger car sales would moderate later in 2012, in line with our view of a slight slowdown in private consumption growth. This had a smaller effect than we had anticipated.

After strong growth in the beginning of the year, we believed that private consumption growth would moderate in the second half of the year as consumer credit plateaued and unemployment crept

up. We believed that these factors, combined with elevated inflation, would weigh on consumers' purchasing power, moderating passenger car sales from levels seen earlier in the year.

In 2012, light vehicle (passenger car and LCV) production increased 12.8%, to 2,884,869 units. Over the year, vehicle production for export, which constitutes some 83% of the total, increased 15.1% year-on-year, to 2,405,188 units.

There are a number of factors that have informed our bullish outlook on the auto production industry in the country, including comparative weakness in the productive capacity of Mexico's regional competitors, the continued recovery of the US vehicle market, strong domestic sales (as above), positive developments in the domestic supply chain, and Mexico's wage competitiveness.
