ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Toyota's increased vehicle supply in the fourth quarter will put pressure on competitors to match their sales pace, potentially leading to a more competitive pricing environment.

What it means for the order bank

The fact that Toyota has retained the market lead in September despite previous supply constraints suggests that their customers are loyal and willing to wait for their preferred brand, which could lead to a surge in sales as supply improves.

This surge in sales will likely be driven by the 17,682 new vehicle sales recorded in September, which will give Toyota a strong momentum going into the fourth quarter.

Competitor response and pricing

Competitors will need to respond to Toyota's increased sales pace by adjusting their pricing and marketing strategies to remain competitive, potentially leading to a more aggressive pricing environment.

Action for dealers

Dealers can take advantage of this situation by reviewing their pricing and marketing strategies to ensure they are competitive, and by preparing for a potential surge in sales by ensuring they have adequate stock and staffing levels.
