Now Available: Brazil Autos Report Q4 2014

BMI forecasts a 4.6% drop in vehicle sales in 2014, as we expect the passenger car and CV segments to remain weak over the coming year.

We forecast a 6% decline in passenger car sales in 2014, as the broader slowdown in consumer spending and higher car sales taxes impacts the segment. In 2014, BMI expects to see 2.3% growth in the light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment, a slowdown from strong growth in recent years and a 15% drop in heavy truck sales. This relatively bearish outlook is due to the expected broader slowdown in the construction industry and ending of government tax incentives.

BMI has become increasingly bearish on the country's domestic sales and export outlook and believes this will weigh on output in 2014. Indeed, we forecast a 14.6% drop in total vehicle output over the coming year, a reversal from the 9.9% output growth seen in 2013.

The majority of production in Brazil is for the domestic market. We expect exports to play an increasingly important role in output growth but volumes are likely to remain relatively small, so they will not be the primary driver of production.
