Why this matters
Daihatsu's June figures show a rebound in global production and sales after a two-month decline, indicating a potential recovery in demand. However, domestic sales in Japan fell, highlighting a reliance on overseas markets. The cumulative half-year results show sustained growth, suggesting overall healthy business performance.
