CAMPI President Rommel Gutierrez said the auto industry closed Q1 2024 with a strong performance despite a slight decline on a month-on-month basis of 1.6%. “YTD sales performance was driven by sustained demand for new vehicles, supported by overall supply improvement. Our Q1 performance keeps us on track to achieve our 2024 target”, Gutierrez said. YTD sales show 23% achievement of CAMPI’s conservative forecast of 468,300 units in 2024.
Commercial vehicles (CVs) continue to drive industry performance at 81,395 units accounting for 74% of total sales. Light Commercial Vehicles still drive CV sales with 60,302 units or 74% share of total CV sales, but MPV/AUV sub-segment displayed the strongest YoY growth of 27%. Meanwhile, passenger cars registered sales of 28,211 units equivalent to 26% share of total sales.
