In order to save the domestic car market, the Russian authorities have decided on parallel imports, as well as some other indulgences – for example, the abolition of the mandatory OTTS for imported cars for legal persons. But has it paid off? It turned out that since the beginning of the year, the situation with the supply of cars from abroad has really changed.
For example, according to the Avtostat analysis company, most cars in 2022 were brought to Russia in February – more than 32,000 units, of which 65% were new cars. By way of comparison: in July, when parallel imports already existed, 25,000 cars crossed the border. But among them, there were many more “beusheks”: 68% versus 32%.
While new cars were more often imported from China (28.3%), Belgium (25.2%) and Germany (17.4%) at the start of the year, the top three changed in the second quarter. China significantly strengthened its position (80.6%), while South Korea (7%) and Japan (2.6%) broke through to second and third place.
In terms of used cars, Japan used to be on the first line and now (86.6% and 87.4%), Belarus is second (3.9% and 2.8%). But the “bronze”, which in the first quarter belonged to Germany (2.5%), was taken by the United States (2.3%).
We add that if at the beginning of the year new cars were mainly imported by legal entities, in July the share of “physicists” increased from 2% to 20%. There has been more “private” imports in the used car segment: here the figure rose from 90% to 99%.
