Toyota Full-YearvReport 2024
In FY2024 (ended March 31, 2024), although the inflation rate slowed as a result of monetary tightening policies mainly in Europe and the United States, the outlook for the global economy remained uncertain due to concerns about recession caused by higher policy interest rates, geopolitical risks such as conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the impact of the stagnation in China’s real estate sector. Meanwhile, the recovery of the Japanese economy was moderate despite positive economic trends such as wage increases and companies’ stronger willingness to commit to investment. In this operating environment, Toyota Industries undertook efforts to ensure customer trust through a priority to quality as well as to expand sales by responding flexibly to market trends. As a result, total consolidated net sales amounted to 3,833.2 billion yen, an increase of 453.4 billion yen, or 13%, from the previous fiscal year
