Volumes have dropped from over $190 million to $32. This is due to two reasons. The first is a sharp drop in demand and a reduction in purchasing power. The second is the disruption of supply chains. But logistics issues are being successfully resolved, new options for interaction are being established, and the first automobile bridge between the countries has been put into operation.
Supplies of spare parts, components and electronic components sank by only 30%. This is due to the fact that Russian auto giants have shifted their focus to the Chinese market and ensured a normal trade turnover even against the backdrop of sagging demand. Let's see what drivers say about the current situation:
I'm shocked. Dozens of brands have left the market, many segments have been vacated, and deliveries from China have fallen by 6 times??? How is that even possible? People began to take less cars just now. At first, the demand was booming - they grabbed everything they could get and did not look at prices.
– said Artemy Zakudovsky
Everything is explained easily - there was a supply of cars in the warehouses, they were crushed. In the first weeks, a lot of deliveries were still carried out, the demand was closed. Only then did the exit from the market begin. Therefore, the excitement of March passed by Chinese automakers, and now we see a predictable decline in volumes.
- answered the previous commentator Valentin Fedorovich
A drop in demand was predicted, this is normal. This will last for another month, and maybe now we see the bottom point. There are already prerequisites for growth, so by the end of the year the figures will increase many times over in comparison with the current situation. China is determined to increase volumes, our authorities do not mind - everything will work out.
– the user “Kenigsbergsky” shared his opinion
There are no cars, there is no demand - soon we will all switch to Grants in a simplified specification and we will be glad that there is at least some kind of car. As in the USSR, God forbid that there were no queues to buy a car. But seriously, the situation is strange. I do not believe that China needs a lot of time to establish logistics. Moreover, we have a common border with them, no interference.
– Dmitry Kolesov commented
The Chinese will sort out the supplies, everything will be fine. There they are strenuously certifying new models, registering new brands. This is the time, everything will be fine.
