Foreign brands increased their share in the Russian market in 2021

At the end of 2021, the share of foreign brands was 73.6% of the total sales of new passenger cars and LCVs in Russia. Experts of the agency "AUTOSTAT" noted that a year ago this figure was 73%, i.е. was by 0.6 p.p. less. The growth in the share of foreign cars is explained by the fact that their sales grew more than the market.

Thus, cars of foreign brands for the whole last year were sold in the amount of 1,227,178 units (according to AEB). This is 5.1% higher than in 2020. In total, the Russian market grew by 4.3% (up to 1,666,780 units). In turn, sales of cars of domestic brands in 2021 grew only by 2% (up to 439,602 units). Therefore, their share has decreased from the previous 27% to the current 26.4%.
