The automobile market in Russia is starting to recover and is slowly reaching pre-crisis levels. In this respect kp.ru said automobile expert Igor Morzharetto.
According to him, car sales in January exceeded expectations, but the growth in sales was largely due to promotions and discounts offered by manufacturers and car dealers.
“There is no reason yet to believe that sales in the auto market will reach 2021 levels. However, if the current pace continues, it is quite possible that we will reach the level of 1.2-1.3 million by the end of the year, but you understand that there are many factors that can interfere with these forecasts. For the normal functioning of the market, we need to reach the annual sales level of 1.6 million cars. But I think this is already a task in 2025,” said the expert.
In the statement of the Committee of Automobile Manufacturers of the Association of European Businesses (AEB), obtained by socialbites.ca, earlier reportedIn January, 65.2 thousand new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles were sold in Russia. Considering alternative supply channels, their number is 83 thousand.
