While domestic sales in Japan increased during Q2, US sales dropped significantly due to tariffs. Globally, the company's sales fell 2.8% YoY to 301,000 units, with revenue down 8.8% YoY. The Nikkei website reported that the US market accounts for about 30% of Mazda's global sales, making it the most important profit source. However, Mazda's US sales heavily rely on exports, leaving it highly vulnerable to US tariff policies, which became the primary cause of its losses. ((Cailian Press)
