The Belarusian car market decreased almost 3 times in 2022

The Belarusian car market in 2022 was 17,234 cars, which is 63.2% lower than a year ago, according to the Belarusian Automobile Association (BAA). The leader of sales in this republic of the last year was Geely, which sold 4,355 vehicles (-41.5%). Russian brand LADA dropped to the second place with 3,782 sold cars, which is 67.6% lower in compare with 2021. Kia ranks the third with 1,462 vehicles (-62.5%).

As noted in the BAA, in recent years, most of the Belarusian car market has been formed due to Russian-made cars. In 2022, given the departure of the world's leading brands from Russia and the freezing of the production of popular models assembled in this country, Belarusian dealers resolved the issue of forming a new model line and redirecting deliveries. This process will continue in 2023, and the results of each of the brands presented in Belarus will largely depend on how quickly and painlessly representatives of the Belarusian auto business can organize the supply of such models.
