Sales Volume Overseas
Sales of Passenger Cars, Trucks and Buses
Until the early 1980s, Toyota met foreign demand by exporting CBU and CKD vehicles. But as the sudden increase in exports led to increased trade friction and as economic conditions grew more volatile, Toyota started full-scale efforts to produce its products overseas.
Sales overseas grew stagnant in the second half of the 1980s due to a sudden appreciation of the yen. By 2000, however, overseas production far exceeded CBU exports, and with the successful launch of a number of region-specific models, sales overseas expanded, hitting its peak at over 6.8 million units in 2007.
Impacted by the global recession that started to unfold in autumn 2008, sales in 2009 dropped by over 900,000 units from the previous year to a total of 5.6 million units. Still, overseas sales in 2009 accounted for more than 80% of Toyota's total sales, a significant increase from the 50% levels of the late 1980s
