New vehicle sales in South Africa continued to build their momentum during June 2021, despite the continued impact of the pandemic on the industry and the country’s economy.<\/p>\n

A year ago, the market was under Alert Level 4 lockdown regulations, a position the country once again enters with adjusted restrictions, said vehicle finance specialist, Wesbank, citing data from the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa).<\/p>\n

“While the majority of sales during June were not severely impacted by Covid-19 restrictions, we should expect a returned level of hesitancy during July,” said Lebogang Gaoaketse, head of marketing and communication at WesBank.<\/p>\n

“Both business and consumer confidence are certainly building their own momentum despite the current environment, which is providing continued energy into the slow recovery of the market.”<\/p>\n

New vehicle sales in June were only marginally down on May’s figures according to Naamsa. June sales registered 38,030 new vehicles compared to the 38,320 in May and 31,643 in June last year.<\/p>\n

A further consideration is a more sombre fact that last month’s sales are 17.2% down on June 2019 sales, Wesbank said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
