In 2013 the Russian PC market dropped by 5.4%
- The Russian passenger car market fell by 5.4% in 2013, to 2 777 427 units. This is the second decline since the early 2000s. The first occurred in the aftermath of the global financial crisis in 2009, but it was much more brutal since the volume of the Russian market decreased by half.
- The 2013 decrease is more modest, but it highlights a slowdown of the Russian economy (export and local demand are both declining).
- Inovev expects a decline of 2.8% of the Russian market in 2014 (2 699 000 units) with a restart in 2015.
- By manufacturer, the Renault-Nissan group remains the leader with 30% market share, but the AvtoVAZ division recently taken over by the Franco-Japanese group has been declining for a dozen years. It fell to 16.5% market share in 2013, the lowest level since 1971. The Renault-Nissan group aims to achieve 40% market share with AvtoVAZ in the coming years. Followed by Hyundai-Kia (14%), General-Motors (11%), Volkswagen (11%), Toyota (6%) and Ford (4%).
- By models, the Lada Granta (segment B sedan was sold at 145 462 units) is in first place and far ahead of the Hyundai Solaris (segment B sedan 100 313 units), Kia Rio (segment B sedan 82 440 units), Renault Duster (segment C SUV - 73 510 units), VW Polo (segment B sedan 70 201 units), Ford Focus (segment C sedan 61 070 units) and Chevrolet Cruze (segment C sedan 52 144 units).
