The number of new cars sold in Japan in June was 360,000, 18% lower than that of adults who were not affected by the spread of the infection.
The uncertain situation is likely to continue in the future as automobile manufacturers are cutting production due to a global shortage of semiconductors.
According to the announcement by the Japan Automobile Dealers Association and others, the number of new cars sold in Japan in June was 365,631, an increase of 5.2% compared to the same month last year, but it was not affected by the spread of infection. , It is 18% lower than the adult June.
This is mainly due to the impact of the new coronavirus and the reduction in production by automakers due to the global shortage of semiconductors. Some automakers sold in June in the same month last year. Compared to that, it turned to decrease.
Due to production cuts due to semiconductor shortages, it takes about half a year from the decision to purchase to reach consumers, and industry groups said, "The impact of semiconductor shortages and the spread of infection is still large, and the situation is very complicated and forecasts are made. I'm not in a situation where I can be infected. "
