Proton 1H 2022 exports grow 81.2% y-o-y – Saga leads the way in shipments, Pakistan is biggest market

Proton announced its first half of 2022 sales figures today and the headlining number is 60,124 units sold from January to June, an increase of 3.9% year-on-year. A late push in June (14,787 units), the company’s best month this year, helped the carmaker achieve y-o-y growth.

Proton always includes exports in its total sales numbers, but if you look at exports separately, there’s big growth. P1 says that it shipped 636 units in June, and total exports for the first half reached 2,722 units. That’s a y-o-y growth of 81.2%, and Proton says that it’s the top exporting car company in Malaysia.

No surprises on which model is leading the export charts. The Saga is at 1,602 units, an increase of 78%, but the Proton X70 and X50 are growing fast, Proton says – 377 and 100 units respectively were shipped in June. Pakistan continues to be Proton’s biggest export market with 1,770 units, 183% higher than 1H 2021. This is followed by Brunei and Bangladesh with 203 and 194 units respectively.

“Proton’s exports is one of the pillars to drive our future growth and is also in line with our promise to the government to help develop Malaysia’s automotive export industry. With the addition of new markets such as South Africa to our portfolio, we target for export volumes to continue on their current growth trajectory and form an even larger portion of our sales in the future,” said Proton’s deputy CEO Roslan Abdullah.

    • Proton and Perodua both need to reach 1 million exports a year before excise duty can be lifted.

      If P1 really can really compete globally,it means locally our fanboys are being overcharged,both by Mr DRB and garmen huge unrelenting taxes.
      When u go international,u strip all the blardy protectionist taxes and unnecessary costs.
      P1 is not making much money by exporting one or two thousand units monthly.
      Look at Hyundai and Kia..few hundred thousand units monthly.Thats where they make tons of money.

        What taxes. Saga now with SST only went up Rm 500. So proton homegrown models are very cost competitive but the problem is lack of volume due to sales being stolen by P2. Close down P2 and proton will be back in black.
