Toyota in China: Full Speed Ahead, Business Week. Yoshimi Inaba, who’s driving the Japanese auto maker’s expansion in the Middle Kingdom, discusses the Chinese market and his goals there. Toyota’s market share is just 3.5% in China, compared to 13% in the U.S. and more than 40% at home in Japan.
We’re a minor player in the China market, with a 3.5% share, but we’re one of the few manufacturers where demand exceeds supply.
