Mazda reports global growth

Mazda Motor Corporation has announced that its annual global sales increased by five per cent to 1.3 million units in the year to the end of March 2025.

This brought in net sales of ¥5.1 trillion (NZ$59 billion), a four per cent rise from the prior financial year. Its latest full-year operating profit was ¥186.1b and net income came in at ¥114.1b.

Mazda says North America remains its largest market and accounted for 617,000 sales, which was up 20 per cent year-on-year.

The climb was led by the United States, where 435,000 units were sold, growing 16 per cent. This was mainly driven by the success of the Mazda CX-50, pictured, and other large products.

In Mazda’s home market, Japan, 152,000 units were sold in the full fiscal year. China completed 74,000 sales. 

In Europe, sales remained stable at 174,000 units and momentum is expected to build with the launch of the all-new Mazda6e. 

Mazda has not yet determined its outlook for the year ending March 2026. It explains it is monitoring the US business environment – including tariff policy developments and market demand – and will provide an update with its first-quarter financial results.
