Anfavea: growth of the automotive market in 2018 will be superior to that of 2017

SAO PAULO-the auto industry is recovering and will accelerate the pace of growth next year, estimated on Tuesday, 19, Antonio Mann, President of Anfavea, entity that is home to automakers in Brazil.
To participate in Forum promoted by the magazine Quatro Rodas, Mann avoided anticipating figures on the performance of the sector in 2018, which should only be done by Anfavea in January. But he said that the growth of the market should be higher than this year, when the entity estimates point to an advance of 7.3% of sales of vehicles.
Revealing an increase in confidence of plates issued more than 10%, the Executive pointed out that the trend is that the sector get closer to levels approaching double-digit growth next year.
Mann cited economic indicators as the fall in interest rates, the reduction of unemployment and the end of the recession to justify your view that the worst moment of the crisis is behind us. "All of these indicators are giving us the confidence that the recovery began and the end of the crisis is near," commented the President of Anfavea.
After participating in the Forum, he said that the time is coming for renewal of the fleet of cars marketed in 2013, when the Brazilians bought more than 3.7 million vehicles-68% more than planned this year and noted that the economy has been taking off from politics so that the 2018 elections should not contaminate the business environment.
As the holder of the Anfavea, the daily sales rate this month is surpassing in about 5% the average August: 9100 vehicles per working day, the best average of the year. "September should not exceed the mark of 10000 vehicles per day, but must be over August," said Mann, pondering, however, that the total this month may fall below the August calendar account with fewer days of sale.
Mann said that, given the use of relatively low vehicle-a vehicle every five Brazilians, Brazil has the potential to be one of the five largest markets in the world, but it will take a long time to retrieve the volumes sold before the recession. In your record, the auto industry sold 3.8 million vehicles in 2012. In the four years following, that number just fell.
The positive news, as Mann, is that production, packed not only for the recovery of internal consumption, but also by exports, should surpass the mark of 3 million vehicles in a year or two out of 2.7 million units planned for 2017. This resumption of activity will help the industry make better use of your installed capacity, which shows idle today around 50%.
Mann said that the automakers must re-submit opening new jobs this month, after closing August with creating 1100 jobs.
