Japan: Toyota Motor Corporation keeps thin plate prices unchanged for H1FY'26 negotiations
Toyota Motor Corporation has decided to keep thin plate prices unchanged for the first half of fiscal year 2026 (April-September), maintaining stability from the previous half-year. This decision aligns with market expectations given the slight fluctuations in raw material costs, despite steelmakers' broader push for price increases in other sectors. The article also notes a shift in negotiation dynamics, with automakers now conducting individual price discussions with parts manufacturers, diminishing the sole impact of bulk purchasing prices.
