Data that in Russia the number of dealers began to decrease is currently being given. Specialists from the Autostat agency compare the number of car sales centers with what it was in the spring. From 3203 working in the middle of summer 3102.
Most sales centers in Russian regions were closed by European brands. For example, Opel and Volvo decreased by 2 dealers, MINI – by 3, Cadillac – by 5. The French companies Renault and Peugeot lost 6 and 7 official showrooms respectively. But the Chevrolet chain of UzAuto lost the most dealers – 35 at a time.
Stability in work is demonstrated by Russian and Korean companies. Their dealer networks remained the same.
But the Chinese auto industry is gaining momentum in the Russian market.
The leader in this regard was Exeed, which had 13 additional dealers in three months. FAW’s dealer network has grown with 9 car centers, Chery’s 7, Geely’s 5. Haval and JAC each have 2 new dealers.
Such an increase in the number of Chinese car dealers in the territory of the Russian Federation, experts explain the foreign policy of the two states. China does not support anti-Russian sanctions and therefore is actively increasing the pace of development of the Russian market.
