The Russian car market has ended the particular positive streak that it had been dragging. In the month of July 2021 the car sales in Russia have reached the 132,640 units, which is an important 6.5% decline if compared with the volume of registrations registered during the same period last year.
On the other hand, and with regard to the accumulated period, the data that we will find is totally different. And it is that, between the months of January and July 2021 new car registrations in Russia totaled 953,760 units, 28.4% more than in 2020. However, we must bear in mind that during a good part of the first half of the previous year, commercial activity was limited and / or paralyzed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Further corrections linked to the limiting effects of vehicle production cuts around the world due to the crisis generated by the shortage of microchips are expected to take place over the next few months.
