The big growth for Jaguar was in Asia/Pacific and 'Other' markets. Traditionally dominant Europe and North America still command 68% of sales, but this is lessening and so it should. Too many eggs in the mature markets basket can leave one exposed if they contract.
Europe | 24,050 | +3% | 45% |
Nth America | 12,650 | -3% | 23% |
Asia/Pacific | 11,150 | +21% | 21% |
Others | 6,000 | +21% | 11% |
The XF with its improvements had a good increase in sales (+13%), but the other two models slipped. The XJ (-1%) was about the same in sales and the XK (-15%) is ageing. The newly released XF sportsbrake has been a long time coming and should add to Jaguar sales for 2013. The new F-Type is needed asap and should be a winner when it arrives during the year also. As it stands now, Jaguar is too reliant on the XF, with 64% of Jaguar sales.
XF | 34,700 | +13% | 64% |
XJ | 15,000 | -1% | 28% |
XK | 4,150 | -15% | 8% |
Total | 53,850 | +6% |
