The recycling fee and the devaluation of the ruble managed to moderate the rise in car prices somewhat in the summer, but a new price increase is possible in September. On the air on NSN about it declaration Oleg Moseev is the head of the Automarketologist project. At the same time, according to him, the demand for cars in Russia did not decrease, despite the increase in their cost.
“As the gap in the market has not been fully closed yet, the increase in price did not affect the decrease in demand. There is also no explosive demand. I would like to state that if there was no devaluation of the ruble, we would observe a cooling in the market. And since devaluation always triggers the desire to buy goods, this partially offset the price increase,” the expert continued.
As for scarcity, he says the market is most plagued by B- and D-class sedans.
