In 2016, Perodua sold over 207,100 vehicles, which it estimates accounts for 35.7% of the 579,600 total industry volume (TIV) for the year, making it the highest market share ever obtained by the national carmaker.
“Despite 2016 being a challenging year, we are pleased to announce that all our models; from the Bezza to the Alza; are number one in their respective categories,” said Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh, president and CEO of Perodua.
Aminar added that the Bezza, which was launched in July, managed to rake up over 36,000 unit in sales for 2016, making it the number one compact sedan in the A-segment. “We wish to thank the Malaysian public for their trust and endorsement our brand. We will continue to further improve ourselves for your motoring needs,” he said.
Moving forward, the carmaker is projecting a 2% growth in total industry volume for 2017, amounting to 590,000 units from its internal estimates of 579,600 units in 2016. “Based on this projection, we target to capture 34% of the market share or to sell 202,000 vehicles in 2017,” Aminar explained.
In terms of production, Perodua made 213,000 vehicles in 2016 compared with 229,000 units in 2015. The reduction in production is due a decreased demand for vehicles in 2016, brought upon by lacklustre economic conditions, stricter lending guidelines and stiff competition. This sentiment is set to continue, as Perodua foresees production to be reduced to 197,000 units, reflecting its sales target for 2017.
Despite tough economic conditions last year, Perodua managed to grow its export volume by 6% in 2016 to 4,700 units compared to 4,400 units in 2015. Of that total, over 60% of its exports were directed to Indonesia, the company stated.
The carmaker will also place more emphasis on aftersales for revenue growth, as it saw over two million vehicles visiting its service centres nationwide in 2016. The record number of service intakes saw a service revenue surge to RM682 million, an increase of RM82 million from 2015.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Perodua have good RV too.. Far better than Proton with Campro engine & CVT Punch gearbox..
If I was Proton management, I will be so shy to see this. Proton is much older, started about 10 years earlier than Perodua, and yet, they struggle to sell hardly 70,000 cars.
So shameful. Perodua can sell 207,100 cars. Adn yet they don’t ask RM1.5 bil loan and suck money a total of RM15 billion since 90s.
How a young company can sell 3x the number of cars compared to Proton? And to make matters worse, Proton supplies cars to Gomen departments and agencies. Berpulul puluh ribu cars are ordered by Polis, PDRM, Kastam, Immigresen, TUDM, TLDM, Pos Malaysia etc etc.
I think if Perodua also supplied cars to gomen departments, sales would be 300,000!
Congrats Perodua!!!!
Your point is?
I mean if they can sell 207,000 cars why would they ask for a loan?
My point is, Proton should close shop. Every year losing money.
LOL… gomen got the proton cars on loan from SPANCO, it didn’t buy it. This was not included in total proton sales.
Because a successful profitable Perodua will never ask RM billions of bailout softloan from govt duit rakyat.
Axia RM200K at Singapore right? it not cheap bro..
LOL, paying high price for car and yet still yelling they are rich n can afford it… It’s not about rich it’s bout value.
You said ‘we’ so you and your family all collect money to buy one BMW? Oh okay. All share one car can lessen the traffic jam.
Thats what WE said, singlish is suck. And that Tan Ah Beng try to pretend he is kiasu singaporean, he is same room at Tanjung Durian as Kunta lah
Yes. So much Regret Value when eksiden. No VSC to save the situation and no enuff structure & airbag to save the occupants.
Bezza got VSC traction control and 5-star ratings Asean NCAP.
Dun worry. An axia in SG (with 10x COE) is so expensive u think u driving beemer in it.
perodua still can maintain their title for 2017…because they got good quality, practical and affordable line-up
All Malaysians must be proud of P2 for being self-sufficient and not asking government for bailout money (oh wait, they call it a soft-loan expecting it to be paid back, yeah right) for being a chronic failure like P1.
Still, P2 better damn equip all their new-launch cars with full safety of ABS, VSC and more than 2 airbags on the way to a 5-star safety rating. Anything less will not be tolerated in future.
Dont forget Proton is losing RM4 million per day also but the directors and management all get fat 6 figure salary per month with fat bonus and fat perks like driver, Audi limo, entertainment alowance etc.
Only country in the world, company is doing badly and bleeding money and yet, directors can enjoy fat bonus and fat pay packet.
Clearly you’ve never been to other countries. Katak bawah tempurung.
Audi limo? That’s for the DRB bosses. Proton has its own Perdana limo for its own board of directors. Including for proton advisor
Nothing to be proud about when they just an assembler in disguise as a car MAKER.
Tell that to Proton Ertiga also.
i will infuriate those 207k ppl if i really wanna say what my opinion is , so i will keep it quite…
how did 207k ppl made a logical decision to purchase a p2 i hv no idea…dont tell me thats all they can afford bla bla bla , its nonsense ….
most always complain p2 no spec , p2 so safety bla bla , and yet , they probably have a myvi in their garages…otherwise how da heck did they reach 207k…..bt its not my money , so its ok…oh n thnx for filling up our roads with piss ugly Bezza that we have to see its rear design everyday..thank you very much..
Car prices have become too expensive thus many seek cheaper alternatives so-much-so even BR1M has got into the picture.
Good news for Perodua.
What about Proton? Sold 500,000 units?
Honestly nothing to brag about this result, pity of those who can only afford so call lagi best product. If given choices i bet noone local would buy all these homeland milo tin. We Malaysian should have deserve better lifestyle. Enough is enough.
wait a sec…P2 dun export cars to Indonesia, wait nvm, they do export the myvi here which is sold as the daihatsu sirion here in Indonesia, but still, that car doesn’t sell well here cause people prefer to buy the smaller ayla/agya (AKA Axia) and Avanza as well as its twin the Xenia
Congrats to Perodua although they were founded 10 years behind Proton. Expect Perodua to break record again this year. The only thing that is missing in a Perodua car is the ESC. To Proton, shame on you.
bontot tongek and underpowered can still sell so well…. no wonder malaysian highway always traffic jam with underpowered cars hogging the fast lane.
Why Perodua a success and Proton a failure despite the fact that Proton cars have superior safety technologies? Because these two brands only have market in Malaysia. And the only reason Malaysians buy a local brand car is because they can’t afford a foreign brand. Perodua is successful because it addresses everything that most Malaysian car buyers want. Cheap and reliable. If Malaysian car buyers want top end safety tech and luxury they will spend slightly more for a foreign brand cars such as Honda, Toyota, Mazda or even Ford. Proton’s mistake is they think they can compete with them just because they are slightly cheaper. Consumers not only look for value but also brand pride. Proton in this case offers so-so value with no brand reputation. Perodua however has incredible value and so-so brand reputation. At least Perodua got the value part right by being the cheapest yet extremely reliable.
Proton should trim down their model offerings by shutting down C segment and D segment models such as the Perdana, Preve, Suprima S. At those price range, one has to be incredibly stupid or patriotic to buy one. Focus on A segment and B Segment cars. Make them best in class or even as good as a car from a segment above. And keep the price competitive like Perodua.
Once Proton has gained confidence from consumers only then should they think about making higher end C and D segment cars.
Come on la… if I’ve worked hard for 15 years plus, will I blow my hard earned money on a Proton? At least I would want a Honda. Brand matters. And as of today, Proton is not worthy.
After all the bashing & screaming by commentators here, P2 is still the Top seller/King in M’sia.
Yes, some may claim P2 sell more bcos its cheap/cheaper. Others may say they are lousy & have no VSC except Bizza.
All in all, there Must be something P2 is doing is right. Am sure P1 can only dream to sell 200k units in a year.
Bravo to P2. Lets hope U further improve your services & your spec especially VSC which many are clamoring & make it a standard equipment in future.
P2 sells not cuz its gud but becoz its cheap. Im sure P1 dun aspire to sell 200k deathtraps yearly. Their conscience wun allow it.
If a car company sell their car base on conscience, they will all close shop long time ago.
yes possible also for protong to sell more than 200k cars. one of the reasons why protong sales is bad is because it can’t export its cars abroad all that much. the new engines are coming. i won’t surprised beginning from next year it can reach 200k mark and beyond
The Bezza is basically P2’s middle finger to proton’s pondana, persona, saga and ertiga last year.
to be fair, i only expect the new saga to be a decent seller. the other new models can pergi mampos.
