Sales of brand new automobiles in Japan next year are expected to rise 4.1% from the figure expected for 2009 to 4,798,400 units, marking the first upturn in six years, an industry body said. The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association recognized the expected increase to the government’s tax breaks and financial backing for environmentally friendly vehicles as well as a recovery in personal utilization.
However, new automobile sales are expected to remain below 5 million units for the second consecutive year in 2010, which will see sales at the second-lowest level, after 2009, since 1978 when they totaled 4,682,000 units. Yoshiyasu Nao, vice chairman of the association, said the market hit bottom in 2009 and sales are expected to pick up in and after 2010 remaining to the government’s support measures.
