Above ten million
Toyota has never sold as many cars as in the past (fiscal) year. More than ten million were sold over the proverbial counter.
For the first time, Toyota, including Lexus, has sold more than ten million cars in a fiscal year. In 2023, the counter amounted to more than 10.3 million, as was previously announced, but it is now also clear that the fiscal year – which runs from April to March at Toyota – has been completed with a similar number. Not entirely surprising, given sales in calendar year 2023, but still a very nice achievement.
Compared to the previous fiscal year, progress is also clearly visible; a sales growth of 7.3 percent was recorded. In Europe there was even a growth of 10.8 percent. The sales of Toyota and Lexus together have fluctuated for years (except in 2020, disrupted by corona) around 9 million units. In 2014, Toyota passed the 9 million car sales mark for the first time.
Toyota not only saw sales as a whole reach a new record, but never before have so many of the company’s cars been worn outside Japan. That was almost 8.78 million. For comparison; in 2021 it was just above 8 million for the first time and above 7 million for the first time in 2021. The Asian market is the most important for Toyota in terms of numbers, with China at the top. If we look at all individual countries worldwide, the US is at the top. No fewer than 2.34 million of the more than 10 million cars sold last year were sold in the US.
