“Drom”: the share of Chinese cars in dealerships in Siberia and the Far East has reached 50 percent

VLADIVOSTOK, April 17 – RIA Novosti. A representative of the press service of the Drome automotive website told RIA Novosti that the share of new Chinese cars in dealerships in the Far East and Siberia increased from 10% to 50% last year, due to the separation of European brands. .

“Today the dealer fleet is changing radically. In January 2022, Chinese brands – dealer innovations – occupied 10% of the new car supply, and in March 2023 – already 50% in the Far East and Siberia. Russian brands also grew – 18%’ The percentage of domestic cars in the European part of Russia has changed even more – from 20% to 40%. This is due to the fact that there were initially fewer domestic cars in the east of the country , “Droma analyst Igor Oleinikov commented in the press service .

They also noted that the number of new Korean cars has decreased significantly: from 25-28% at the beginning of last year to 15% in March this year. The press service noted that the share of cars of European brands in dealerships fell from 27% to 6% – in fact, European car brands are leaving the market. The number of Japanese brand cars in dealerships in western Russia fell from 18% to 6% in the east of the country – from 18% to 10%.

“The general structure of the dealer market has completely changed: it is now dominated by Chinese brands,” the source said, adding that this trend is also observed in Russia as a whole.

According to him, the shares of second-hand foreign cars and domestic cars in the secondary market did not change in 2023 compared to 2022. The share of Russian cars is 14%, Japanese – 49%, Korean – 11%, Chinese – 2%, European – 18%, American – 5%, the rest – about 1%.

Last week, an official from the Far East Customs Administration told RIA Novosti that the number of Chinese-made trucks imported from the Far East customs to the Russian Federation has increased 8 times since the beginning of the year compared to the same period last year. 2022 – from 340 to 2759 cars.
