OPENING COMMENTS
THE RUSSIAN AUTOMOTIVE MARKET
Russia belongs to the fastest growing emerging automotive
markets. While demand for quality new vehicles in the coun-
try continues to surpass optimistic forecasts, domestic manu-
facturers are heading towards saturation of production
capacity.
But car consumers are more selective and price sensitive
than ever. Attractive automotive credit conditions, competi-
tive warranty packages, and comfortable after sales service
now belong to the basic toolset of any foreign car dealer striving for success throughout
the country.
In this report we present key market indicators gathered over the last three years. This
is just a glimpse of what we can do for you while you consider market entry or expan-
sion of business activities in Russia.
We hope you find the following information insightful, and welcome you to share your
most challenging questions on this exciting business environment with us.

The Passenger Car Market The Russian passenger car market is estimated at 1.76 million vehicles in 2004,
up 10.5 percent year on year1. While the import of used cars accounts for less then
20 percent of overall consumption, the production of foreign car makers more than
tripled, to over 133,000 units, which represents 7.5 percent of overall Russian car
market in 2004.

Despite strong growth in new car imports,
Russia’s car production in 2004 rose
almost 10 percent compared to the previ-
ous year. Taken on its own, production by
Russian manufacturers rose 2.1 percent
to over 976,000 units2. Currently, Russia’s
automotive production capacity runs
at approximately 90 percent of overall
production capacity.
Russian car prices soared by 15 percent
on average in 2004, matching base
prices of several of the foreign models
sold in Russia, some of which are now
produced in the country.

AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTION
IN RUSSIA
THE RUSSIAN AUTOMOTIVE MARKET
The Bus Market Bus production in Russia remained prac-
tically unchanged in 2004 compared to
the previous year, in which clear growth
was tangible in the larger bus segments
(city, intercity buses). The minibus sector,
which account on its own for approxi-
mately 50 percent of total Russian bus
output, went down over 15 percent.
Scania-Peter, the only foreign bus
producer in Russia, raised production
to 147 Intercity buses, a growth of 56 per-
cent compared to 2003.

Russia Within the GlobalAutomotive Market According to the World Bank, Russia’s
car fleet per 1,000 people stands at
147. However, Moscow alone, with over
10 million inhabitants, has approximately
260 cars per 1,000 people, which is
slightly higher than the Polish car density
per 1,000 people.
Russia’s automotive industry is still
highly vertically integrated. The country’s
most urgent concern is to create an
attractive investment climate for foreign
suppliers while protecting the Russian
supplier industry, which is currently
undergoing significant changes.
Almost 50 percent of Russia’s car fleet
is over ten years of age.

While international suppliers learn
how to adapt to the needs of smaller
markets in order to remain competitive
within the global automotive environ-
ment, Russian suppliers must improve
quality and productivity, and adapt
to the needs of those foreign OEMs
with current or planned manufacturing
activities in Russia. This context raises
the possibility of potential cooperation
agreements in Russia’s automotive
industry.

New Car Import by Country 2002–2004
Source: Ernst & Young
Foreign car sales soared to almost
340,000 units in Russia in 2004,
up 72.2 percent year on year. Russia’s
relatively low customs duties (25 percent
ad valorem) on imported complete built
units (CBU) ensure consumer satisfac-
tion, but have not yet prompted other
original equipment manufacturers
(OEM) to begin manufacturing activities
in the country. And the commitment
of further OEMs in Russia would act as
a catalyst for the development of the
industry.
Russia ranks twelfth among
the top countries producing vehicles
worldwide.

Car Consumption per Price Segment (in €)
Note: the foregoing diagrams illustrate the number of vehicles sold per segment category according to nominal baseprices. A vehicle with a base price in a lower price segment may end up in a higher price segment due to the purchaseof options that significantly change the vehicle’s price.

Analysts continue to underestimate
the Russian car consumption appetite.
Slow, but nonetheless tangible, success
of foreign dealerships in the regions is
a clear barometer of the rising purchasing
power of Russians. But everywhere,
in the capital as well as in the regions,
car consumers are demanding and price
sensitive. Often the choice of one make
or another is made based on additional
options inluded in the base price.
Russia’s car industry is estimated
at US$ 22.858 billion in 2004 as
compared to approximately US$ 13 bil-
lion the previous year. Purchase
of Russian cars (excluding foreign brands
produced in Russia) accounted for
US$ 7.377 billion, up 54 percent
compared to 2003.

The average price for foreign cars pur-

The ability to quickly adapt to the needs
of emerging markets is listed among
the key challenges of several automotive
manufacturers and suppliers. It is
a crucial aspect of strengthening global
competitiveness in an increasingly tight
market while securing manufacturing
activities in home countries.
