Vehicle sales to pick up speed as COE deregistration boom continues

Sales will grow 22.5% in 2016.

Car manufacturers will enjoy brisk sales in Singapore on back of the continued de-registration of Certificates of Entitlement (COEs) and the scrapping of old vehicles, according to a report by BMI Research.

In 2016, BMI Research expects total vehicle sales to grow by 22.5%, driven by a sharp increase in car sales. Car deals are expected to jump by 25% this year, with mass-market car maker Toyota expected to lead sales.

“Passenger vehicles will thus experience growth due to vehicle replacement as vehicles are scrapped, COEs de-registered and new ones bought. Although the government is directing investment into the expansion of public transport infrastructure in an attempt at easing congestion in the city, these projects are not set to come online in our forecast period of 2016-2019 and therefore will not have any negative impact on passenger vehicle sales,” BMI Research said.

From 2016 to 2019, BMI Research expects vehicle sales to grow at an annual average of 30.2%.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.
The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.
If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
