Puerto Rico Vehicle Market
Toyota-Tundra_TRD_Pro-2019

Puerto Rico Vehicle Market in the 2017 was hit by the devastating hurricanes Maria and Irma effects and by the weak US investment in the emergency disaster funds. Toyota is near 30% of market share and customers dislike American products.

Puerto Rico economy remains in weak shape amid high public debt and the fallout from Hurricanes Maria and Irma. On 24 January, the government released a revised five-year fiscal plan. It includes subsidy cuts, reforms to build a more centralized government procurement system and measures to boost tax collection. Despite all of this, the plan projects the government will remain in a fiscal deficit position until FY 2022. In response, Puerto Rico’s financial oversight board requested amendments on 5 February, calling for more details on policy changes and the inclusion of an emergency disaster fund.

Puerto Rico Vehicles Market hit the all time record in the 2013, when light vehicles exceeded the 100k for the second time in the history. Then, the market declined to 80k and the troubles generated by the devastating hurricanes effected the 2017 result.
