Honda and Nissan have officially scrapped their proposed merger, bringing an end to months of negotiations that aimed to create one of the world’s largest automotive giants. 

The decision, announced in a joint statement, comes after issues over leadership structure and financial instability, particularly on Nissan’s end.

Why the Deal Fell Apart

Honda, which has maintained stronger financial footing than Nissan, pushed to revise the original agreement. The initial plan was to establish a joint holding company, but Honda later proposed a new structure that would make it the parent company while Nissan became a subsidiary through a share exchange. 

Nissan, fighting with declining sales and a shrinking market capitalisation, was hesitant to accept this change in power dynamics.

According to Japan’s Asahi Shimbun, Honda executives grew more frustrated with Nissan’s sluggish progress in restructuring discussions. 

Nissan’s internal challenges, including weak financial performance and management instability, further complicated negotiations. 

While the deal was initially seen as a strategic move to counter rising competition from Chinese electric vehicle (EV) makers, the inability to align on a clear integration plan proved to be a stumbling block.

Beyond corporate disagreements, market volatility and the transition to electrification also impacted the decision to abandon the merger. Honda and Nissan have been losing market share in China, where competition from lower-cost EV manufacturers like BYD has increased. 

The merger was intended to bolster both companies’ ability to compete, but without a solid foundation of internal stability, the risks outweighed the potential benefits.

Nissan has been facing financial stress for years, with its market valuation now only a fraction of Honda’s. As part of its restructuring plan, the company recently announced a reduction in global production capacity by approximately 20% by the end of the 2026 fiscal year. 

This includes plans to cut its workforce by around 6,500 employees and scale down operations at several plants, including those in the U.S.

Even with the collapse of the merger, Nissan is not ruling out future partnerships. The company confirmed that it is seeking strategic alliances, with Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn already in discussions about potential collaboration. 

Added to these, there is speculation that Nissan may partner with a tech firm to strengthen its EV development, mirroring Honda’s joint venture with Sony.

Limited Collaboration Moving Forward

While the full-scale merger has been abandoned, Honda and Nissan have confirmed that they will continue working together in a limited capacity.

The two automakers had already agreed to collaborate on software and electrified vehicles earlier this year, and this partnership will proceed despite the failed merger talks.
