It has become known when Chinese cars will massively appear on the secondary market of the Russian Federation​

Chinese cars already dominate the market of new cars in our country, but their share in the secondary market is still small (according to AUTOSTAT agency, at the level of 3%). The dealers interviewed by AUTOSTAT told us why it will grow and when the "Chinese" will start appearing on the used car market en masse. Sales and marketing director of Sunrise Group Mikhail Popov notes that the process of Chinese brands' used cars entry has already started and it will be multiplied every year.

At the same time dealers will actively fight for their share in this direction. For example, they will actively develop the sale of certified profile used Chinese cars. "The mass entry of Chinese brands into the used car market is expected by the end of 2025 and will begin to change it in the direction of filling it with supply and moving away from scarcity. Filling the market with cars from the PRC will create new opportunities for dealers, namely: sales programs for used cars, extended warranties and increased warehouses", - said Andrei Grishakov, Director of Department of used cars of GC "AUTODOM" and GC "AutoSpecCenter".

Alexander Surkov, the director of "Used Cars" direction of dealer centers network "Pragmatica", who notes that the share of Chinese cars in the sales structure is currently no more than 5%, but it is steadily growing, and this segment can be fully formed not earlier than 2025. "The mass market entry of Chinese cars with used cars will be when the market will be saturated with new Chinese cars. I assume that it will be in 3 - 4 years after the start of sales of brand", - believes Roman Titov, Deputy General Director of used cars direction of AG AVILON.
