Several major Japanese car manufacturers recently released their financial reports for the first half of the current fiscal year, showing a collective decline in performance due to the impact of the United States imposing tariffs on imported cars. The Nikkei estimated that the tariffs have caused a total of 1.5 trillion yen in losses for Japan's seven largest automakers. These seven companies include Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi Motors, Subaru, and Suzuki, with Nissan, Mazda, and Mitsubishi Motors all recording losses in the first half of the fiscal year. Analysts believe that the U.S. government's decision to impose a 25% tariff on imported cars in April has severely impacted the Japanese automotive industry, which heavily relies on the American market. Many companies have temporarily refrained from raising prices to maintain market share, resulting in a significant increase in costs and a significant decrease in profits.
