Optimism expressed by the automotive sector for 2021
The country’s automotive industry felt the grave impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic last year. Yet, with the economy gradually opening up and the industry eventually surviving the bumps from earlier months, it takes a positive outlook this year while it is set to embrace significant disruptions among consumers.
As the lockdown caused showrooms to close, the joint total vehicle sales of Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines (CAMPI) and Truck Manufacturers Association (TMA) reflected the pandemic’s impact.
The drop started in March 2020, when 11,029 units were recorded, much below 29,790 units in February. Then, in April a month after the lockdown started car sales plunged to only 133 units, apparently the lowest monthly sales output to date.
