Suzuki holds 22.9% of the Mauritius market so far in 2024

We welcome a new monthly update on BSCB: Mauritius. 1,300 new vehicles found a buyer in the country in July, a solid 8.7% year-on-year improvement. The year-to-date tally surges 18.5% to 9,665 units, headed to a third consecutive all time high annual volume. Suzuki (+0.5%) is stable to stay in the brands charts lead but at 16.8% for the month, its share is dwarfed by its 22.9% year-to-date level. Toyota (+26.5%), Kia (-25.7%) and Nissan (+62.5%) ensure the Top 4 is identical to the YTD one, but show very different fortunes. Other great performers include BMW (+2.4%) trailing the market year-on-year but up to 6.5% share vs. 4.8% so far this year, Hyundai (+33.9%) at 5.8% vs. 4.4% and MG soaring 220% to crack the Top 10 at #9. Honda (+154.5%), BYD (+450%) and GWM (+340%) also impress further down.
