The share of legal entities in the Russian car market has grown significantly

In Russia, the share of legal entities in sales of new passenger cars and LCVs has noticeably increased. This conclusion was made by the experts of the agency "AUTOSTAT" based on the results of processing and analysis of data of JSC "Electronic Passport" (EPTS). The trend towards an increase in the share of legal entities in the market was also observed at the beginning of 2022, but in the previous two months it has manifested itself most clearly. If in January the share of legal entities was 18.5% of the total sales of new cars, and in February - 19.2%, then in March it reached 22.6%.

At the same time, in April the share of legal entities soared to 30.1%! Even despite a slight decrease in May (to 27.9%), it still remains quite high. Roughly the same thing is happening in the LCV market. If in the first three months the share of legal entities in sales of new light commercial vehicles was at the level of 72 - 73%, then in April this figure was already 81.8%, and in May - 80.2%. As for the segments of trucks and buses, there are no cardinal changes yet. If among trucks the monthly share of legal entities was 91-92%, then among buses - from 93% to 97%.
