Daihatsu Malaysia exceeds 2020 sales targets 04 Feb 2021 / 16:09 H.
DESPITE the challenging market environment brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, Daihatsu (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (DMSB) on Monday announced it has exceeded its sales target for 2020 by five per cent for its pre-pandemic targets, with 1,410 vehicles sold last year.
The strongest sales were recorded in the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) months of July and September, spurred by the company’s aggressive campaigns towards the e-commerce, delivery and logistics industries, which boomed during the pandemic season.
Daihatsu Malaysia’s corporate sales in 2020 saw a 10% growth from 2019, boosted by repeat orders because of strong customer confidence and the e-commerce campaigns.

The Daihatsu Gran Max is the number one Pick-Up and Panel Van model for the light commercial vehicle segment (below 2.0L) in Malaysia for 2020, according to the latest Malaysian Automotive Association Report. Daihatsu (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (DMSB) announced it sold 1,410 vehicles in 2020, despite a challenging business environment. Its sales result had exceeded its pre-pandemic 2020 sales target by 5%.
Daihatsu’s best sales were achieved during the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) months of July and September 2020. This was helped by the company’s aggressive campaigns targeting the e-commerce, delivery and logistics industries, which boomed during the lockdown period. Corporate sales had grown 10% year-on-year, boosted by repeat purchases due to strong customer confidence and the e-commerce campaigns.
According to Malaysian Public Health Physicians Association president Datuk Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar, what is more important is to tighten the standard operating procedures so that the spread of the pandemic does not become worse and the goal to reduce the number of cases can be achieved.
The overall residential property market appears to have improved slightly in 3Q2020, says Savills Malaysia director of research and consultancy Amy Wong in presenting The Edge/Savills Klang Valley High-Rise Residential Property Monitor for 3Q2020.
“During the quarter under review, the total amount of loan applications and approvals for the purchase of residential property in the country have doubled compared with the previous quarter,” she says. The total amount of loan applications increased to RM88.21 billion in 3Q2020 from RM42.55 billion in 2Q2020, whereas the total amount of loan approvals increased to RM29.74 billion from RM12.16 billion in the same period. Wong says this signals that interest in property buying remains sturdy in the market.

Kuala Lumpur: When the economy reopened during the Recovery Movement Control Order (MCO) last year, barber shops, hairdressing salons and beauty parlours were among the last sectors to be given the green light to resume operation.
This was because it was difficult to comply with the physical distancing stipulated by the Ministry of Health (MOH) as it involves physical contact and it was feared that this would increase the risk of COVID infection.
Ironically, the haircare and beauty sector that contributed RM13.5 billion a year to the nation’s gross domestic product did not create any new COVID-19 clusters after business resumed from June 10.
