September 2024 New Car Sales Hold Steady As Chinese Brands Take 5.44 Percent Market Share


New vehicle sales remained steady last September, moving a total of 39,542 units. This is a one percent growth compared to the 39,155 units sold in August and a 2.4 percent growth (38,628) compared to September 2023. This is according to the joint report of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers, Inc. and the Truck Manufacturers Association (CAMPI-TMA).

Toyota remained the best-selling auto brand last September, taking a 46.62 percent market share with 18,434 units sold. Following it in second place is Mitsubishi with 19.01 percent (7,515), Ford with 6.26 percent (2,477), Nissan with 5.19 percent (2,052 units), and Suzuki with 4.51 percent (1,784 units).

Sales of Chinese brands remained steady with a 5.44 percent of total market share despite Geely pulling out of CAMPI. MG remains the dominant Chinese brand with a 2.41 percent market share. They are also the only Chinese brand to squeeze into the Top 10 best-selling brands for the month.

Newly-minted Ferrari distributor, Velocita Motors Philippines also happened to report their first sales. Starting July, the luxury sportscar maker has managed to move a total of nine units already (four in July, one in August, and another four in September).

      Subaru, BYD are not members of CAMPI. BYD isn't a member of AVID also (the rival group) so it's hard to get a hard grasp on what their exact sales figures are.

    Geely will join another association where geely, rusi, racal, harabas, fierra, anfra, and lynk and co. Wherein they get 169% of the market.

      Terrible joke
      Rusi and Racal ceased their operations many years ago
      Fierra isn't even a car brand while Anfra is gone many years ago.

    Isuzu is still alive as they continue to sell that underpowered,outdated,unsafe and overpriced Traviz 💩
    Suzuki continues to sell overpriced tincans like the S Presso,Ertiga,Carry,APV,DZire and Jimny 💩
    Swift and Celerio are axed as Suzuki stopped importing newer stocks of those hard to sell vehicles
