We expect a 5% rise in new vehicle sales in 2010, to a total of just below 980,000 units. This forecast may appear conservative, given that the first three months of 2010 generated total new vehicle sales in Australia of 251,827 units, up 18.2% y-o-y, according to the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI). However, interest rate hikes are likely to put a brake on sales; a fact acknowledged even by the FCAI. Commenting on the sales f.....

An economic recovery is under way in Bahrain, which is good news for the auto sector. We believe the economy will post growth of at least 1.5% this year. While the rebounding economy is likely to drive new vehicle sales growth, there is no getting around the limits of the size of the market. While Bahrain has one of the most open and stable economic systems in the Gulf, it is also the smallest country in the region with annual new car sales still.....

The recovery in Canadian vehicle sales recorded in the latter months of 2009 has been sustained into 2010, although the first signs of a slowdown in the rate of growth are evident.

Sales for the first four months combined in Canada are up 11% year-on-year (y-o-y), which is a dip from the 15% growth in Q110. .....

Although the extension of the vehicle scrappage scheme until 2011 has ensured that domestic auto demand does not face a sharp plunge this year, BMI is cautious that the medium- to long-term impact of the scrappage scheme will make vehicle demand very stagnated.

Although the Greek economy outperformed the eurozone's -4.1% y-o-y growth in 2009, BMI forecasts a reversal in 2010, with the Greek economy expected to shrink 2% y-o-y compared with the tepid regional growth of 0.9% y-o-y. Key to this will be the squeeze in public spending and tax rises, which we expect will affect consumer demand in the short and medium term.

Although Indonesia's new vehicle sales have recorded strong growth of 29% in Q110, BMI warns that this is compared with a low base in 2009, while taxes on second vehicles still pose a downside risk to growth. As such we would expect the rate of growth to slow as the year goes on to give a more representative view of sales compared with the latter months of 2009 when sales were beginning to stage a recovery. Despite the new taxes, we expect sa.....

Just how far the vehicle scrappage scheme in 2009 had gone towards fuelling demand for passenger cars in Italy last year is evident from the trends in vehicle registration during the first four months of 2010. After double-digit growth in Q110, passenger car sales fell sharply year-on-year (y-o-y) in April, indicating that the combined growth of 13.5% y-o-y between January and April this year was largely due to the low base effect from Q109 sales.....
