The Turkish automobile market continues to become problematic with increasing exchange rate and tax rates. In this context, decreasing loan amounts and increasing interest rates cause stagnation in the new car market. However, some brands are deciding to withdraw from the Turkish market. A Japanese brand also withdrew from the Turkish market this morning. Here is the statement and details by Mazda…
Mazda withdrew from the Turkish market!
There is a certain segment of people in Turkey who admire Japanese cars. Japanese cars such as Toyota and Lexus are among the popular brands. Mazda, which was once very popular in Turkey, is among these brands. Although it has not been on the market much lately, the thoroughbred Japanese brand Mazda is a very popular brand.
However, in order to continue sales in a country’s market, it is not enough to just be loved. In order to sell in countries with different dynamics, the manufacturer must follow certain strategies. These strategies are based on country-specific equipment, engine options or pricing limits. The Mazda brand said goodbye to the Turkish market with a deteriorating trend in recent years.
