How, what and from whom do Russians buy in 2023, how much will it cost and is it possible to run your car in the usual mode? There are many questions, but there is no answer to them: even professional market players are not ready to give a forecast. But some directions, points on which the new market will be built, have already been outlined. And the market will be completely different, completely new – no restyling and facelift. Details are on the AvtoVzglyad portal.
2022 will forever remain in history as a year of upheavals and a year of ruins. Overnight, without any preconditions, the usual way of life with autumn foliage fell on the asphalt, exposing branches, reading difficulties.
Many domestic industries, not just the auto industry, were found to rely heavily on external supplies, and the country’s domestic revenues did not become a sufficient argument for potential secondary sanctions. But especially the car industry and the aircraft industry had a hard time.
Welcome to fail
Importers and distributors gathered to hand out, for a pittance, but with a caveat, the distribution “obtained by overwork”. Factories, ships, offices, market shares. Within days, multi-year contracts, development strategies and agreements, secured with seals, handshakes and huge investments, turned to dust.
The market suddenly slipped into the 1990s, where strong women with plaid bags served as representatives of the brand, and the logistics company, and the official dealer. That’s called “zeroing”!
Chinese track
True, grass was not allowed to grow in the once inhabited places. It immediately turned out that to whom – sanctions, and to whom – the mother is related. The Chinese immediately built bridges and stockpiled new brands and dealer networks.
The economy, like a currency, has two sides: risk is not only a chance to lose, but also a great chance to make good money. Entrepreneurs from China did not have to call twice. Freight transport miraculously improved, and new railway lines grew, along which caravans of trains carrying goods for various purposes went.
Already today, a third of Russians who bought a new car voted for China with their ruble. Next year it will be at least half. The Association of Russian Car Dealers ROAD believes that it is on Chinese cars that the Russian market will be rebuilt, and that in the coming years the number of cars sold in our country from the Celestial Empire will cross the 70% mark of the total will break through.
Iran woke up
It suddenly became clear that decades of sanctions had not rehoused the Iranians in the caves: the Persians’ automotive, military-industrial complex and aviation industries are quite independent and relevant, and mutual cooperation on an equal footing can greatly help both to land.
So we got down to the details: the first cargo for 300,000,000 “evergreens”, which includes the mighty “auto-landing”, will arrive in the ports of the Russian Federation very soon. The deadline is not even weeks, but days.
Parallel suffering
Parallel imports are just crumbs, less than 100,000 cars, but even he, as it turned out, is ready to cover a certain part of the need for new vehicles. There are well-known names and brands, but the price is significantly lower than the 2021-2022 dealer excesses. It turned out that it was possible?
However, the low results can be explained: if you have an electronic, read – through account, banking relations with Russia are now extremely toxic, you may be subject to secondary sanctions. Therefore – a bank transfer through many companies – lay or cash payment. However, the solution has already been found: cryptocurrencies.
The battle between the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank ended in favor of the ability to earn and spend “crypto” on purchases abroad, and it, honey, cannot be followed. Therefore, absolutely everyone accepts payments.
The mechanics and the mechanism itself will be refined in the near future, and next year will be paid for deliveries of parallel imports of goods to Russia. The relevant law will be passed in the State Duma in December or January 2023.
Indian variant
Of the latest news, it may be worth highlighting India. Foreign Minister Subrahamanyam Jaishankar said Delhi is ready to supply parts for planes, trains and cars to Russia. Given the volume and capacity of India’s factories, we are in for an extremely curious competition with China. And competition, as you know, is always in the hands of the buyer.
… It is not worth waiting for the return of the usual – European and American – manufacturers next year, this process will not start soon. Others will take their place and nobody, not a single person can give an accurate assessment of the process at this time: is it good or bad? However, it will take a few months and we will find out everything ourselves.
