COMMENT:
Alexander Kovrigin, Deputy Managing Director of ASM Holding, commented:
Sales of passenger cars on the Russian market grew by 112.7% in March 2024 and by 92.8% in the first quarter of the year. We expect annual growth of car sales in 2024 by 25-30% over the 2023 result to reach 1.3 million units.
We noted a 104.6% increase of new pickup sales in March 2024 and a 93.6% increase in January-March. We forecast growth of sales in this segment through 2024 by 25-30%.
Sales in the segment of light commercial vehicles grew by 27.6% in March and by 41.8% year-to-date. We expect growth of LCV sales in 2024 by 3-5% over the previous year’s result.
A sharp rise of vehicle sales in Q1 was stipulated by state support of the market, favourable auto credit terms for certain buyers, and changing calculation of scrappage duties on vehicles imported via the Eurasian Union countries. We suggest that further measures should be taken to promote investment by Chinese OEMs in creation and development of local manufacturing facilities like the one built by Great Wall Motor. The market share of cars imported in Q1 from China (excluding Chinese models assembled locally from imported SKD/CKD sets under Russian brands) has reached almost 60%. To our opinion, such situation poses a threat to survival of the automotive component industry in Russia and to development of the domestic automobile manufacturing.

COMMENT:
Alexander Kovrigin, Deputy Managing Director of ASM Holding, commented:
Sales of trucks on the Russian market increased by 3.2% in March 2024 and by 11% year-to-date. We forecast annual sales in this segment through 2024 on the high level reached in 2023 for account of the Chinese-branded trucks.
We have noted growth of bus sales by 47.3% in March 2024 and by 24.1% in the first quarter of the year. We expect that the annual bus sales in Russia will grow in 2024 by 20% as compared with the result of 2023.
A big market share of Chinese trucks which approached 55% in Q1 affects adversely domestic vehicle and component manufacturers posing a threat to the national security and technological sovereignty in production of commercial and special-purpose vehicles. We think that measures should be further taken to protect the domestic truck market, as well as to promote investment by Chinese manufacturers in creation and development of motor vehicle and automotive component production in Russia to replace the foreign companies that have left the country.
