Same question popped up on to my mind. Unfortunately only IHS Automotive research company can answer that question.
On the other hand, Focus is just getting its grip on the Asian markets. Launched in China just a few months ago and still not sold in India, where Corollas are already flogged to death. So things can only go up for Focus

Keep in mind that this survey did NOT count the Auris, Axio, Matrix, and other Corolla variants that the Focus competes against. Pretty skewed. If it had counted the Corolla variants, the Corolla is easily the #1 selling car in the world. The real numbers are 462,817 units sold for Focus vs 603,840 for the Corolla.
Also note the IHS study is only the first 6 months of 2012, not all of 2012.
