In PNG growth in the vehicle industry has been steady within the small passenger car segment, which is the largest category in the market. Both the medium and large passenger car segments had big declines last year in sales. The small, medium and large SUV segments all recorded increases.
In general there is a slow increase expected for this year's sales.
The used car market has presented an increased sales percentage; more people are interested in importing cars after buying them online from second hand services, mainly from Japan.
Toyota, with more than 15% of market share in 2014, continues to dominate the car industry. Holden follows in second place with a more than 8% market share. Hyundai and Mazda are in third place with a low percentage.

Papua New Guinea Ports Corporation Limited (PNGPCL) operates 16 large ports, 14 of which support both foreign and coastal shipping. Lae is the largest port, followed by Port Moresby.
6 out of those 16 ports are able to host significant emergency operations: Buka, Kieta, Lae, Madang, Port Moresby and Rabaul.
The remaining 10 have sufficient infrastructures acting as intermediate operational hubs: Aitape, Alotau, Daru, Kavieng, Kimbe, Lorengau, Oro Bay, Samarai, Wewak, and Vanimo. Nevertheless, their equipment is good but basic and in limited quantities.
From a general point of view, Lae is the biggest port of the country in terms of volume of operations. It is also the one that has the best internal organization, mainly relying on international operators with strong capacities.
Lae Port is the county's largest and busiest port, located in the Morobe province of Papua New Guinea. Lae is the second largest city and the capital of the province. This port has 12,600sq.m. of under cover storage and 39,000sq.m. of open storage.
