Risks

  • Sustained month-over-month and year-over-year declines in new vehicle deliveries - sectors impacted: automotive manufacturing and retail.
  • A falling daily selling rate (down 13% year-over-year) could indicate softer consumer demand over selling-day-normalized measures - sectors impacted: auto retail and dealership operations.
  • Regional inconsistency, with Mazda Motor de Mexico down 10% for July but up 2% year-to-date, introduces uncertainty for regional sales forecasting - sectors impacted: regional automotive markets and distribution networks.
