The price of domestic and Chinese-made summer tires in Russia may increase by 10% by the beginning of the “re-shoe” season. About this “Parliamentary newspaper” said Tatiana Arabadzhi, Director General of the National Agency for Industrial Information (NAPI).
“In general, it is extremely difficult to predict price increases under current conditions. However, if current trends and exchange rates continue, according to our estimates, the price of summer tires at the beginning of the season may not increase by more than 10 percent. And it won’t be long; until the end of the season, that is, until the mass excitement subsides,” the expert said.
However, Jan Heitzer, vice president of the National Drivers’ Association (NAU), believes that a serious and sudden increase in tire prices should not be expected from the beginning of the season. According to him, price adjustments for domestic options can only occur if there is a need to purchase additional raw materials. He noted that prices in the Chinese market depend on the exchange rate, so they will not change significantly unless there is a sharp change in the exchange rate.
