COMMENT:
Alexander Kovrigin, Deputy Managing Director of ASM Holding, commented:
Sales of passenger cars on the Russian market grew by record 206.5% in August 2023. Such growth was mainly due to a low comparative base in August 2022 stipulated by the Special Military Operation and an impact of the sanctions. Any further growth of sales will depend on consumer buying capacity, car price movement, etc. We expect that new car sales, with sufficient saturation of the market, can grow in 2023 by 50% over the 2022 result.
In August 2023, we noted a significant 443.1% increase of new pickup sales. The situation in this segment is similar to that with cars. The GREAT WALL brand pickups set a sales record in August showing 785% growth and grabbing a big market share. We forecast growth of sales in this segment through 2023 by 130-150%.
Sales in the segment of light commercial vehicles grew by 78.3% in August. The growth in this segment is mainly due to high sales results of GAZ, UAZ, LADA and SOLLERS brands taking cumulatively up to a 90% market share. We expect growth of LCV sales in 2023 by 20% over the previous year’s result.

COMMENT:
Alexander Kovrigin, Deputy Managing Director of ASM Holding, commented:
Sales of trucks on the Russian market increased by 142.7% in August 2023. This result is due to the low comparative base in August last year. We note that sales of foreign-branded trucks grew by 263.7% in August. We forecast growth of sales in this segment through 2023 by 80-90% on account of the Chinese-branded trucks.
Bus market sales grew by 44.6% in August 2023. Buses of Russian brands take the major share of the market in this segment; however, an intensive growth of sales of such brands as YUTONG (by 259.2%) and MAZ (by 568.8%) is also worth noting. We expect that the annual bus sales in Russia will grow in 2023 by 40-50% as compared with the result of 2022.
