Will Toyota remain the largest world automaker?
All ready we see pressures and cracks in the Japan's automotive industry:
1. The US tariff is hurting them and slowing down their sales
2. BYD, China's EV dominance
3. Aggressive moves by China to get hold of Japan supplier and former plants
What is going to happen to Japan? How will Toyota hold on to its leadership position? In the household electronic industry Japan has lost its dominance with the difficulties of Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba and more. China cheap manufacturing platform has something to do with their loss of leadership and competitiveness
Nothing is forever. Japanese juggernaut and manufacturing and car industry are losing it and China may soon replace them. And then this financial difficulty they are currently experiencing: tariff wars with USA, loss to EVs, yen weakness?
What would you suggest?
