[Toyota's Global Sales Drop 3.7% Year-on-Year in April Due to Supply Chain Disruptions Caused by Middle East Conflict] ⑴ Toyota's global sales declined for the third consecutive month year-on-year due to supply chain disruptions caused by the Middle East conflict, with exports plummeting by over 90%. ⑵ Toyota announced on Thursday that its global sales in April, including those of its subsidiary Daihatsu, totaled 902,015 vehicles, a 3.7% decrease year-on-year; production, however, increased by 3.4% to 933,685 vehicles. ⑶ Compared to other automakers, Toyota has been less impacted by the conflict. Despite shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, its factories have continued to operate. ⑷ However, if supply shortages persist and parts become scarce, Toyota's resilience will be tested, highlighting the high dependence of global automakers on parts, raw materials, and energy supplies from the Gulf region.
