MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

Russian access to credit has been a major contributing factor in the growth of the Russian used car market. Russian banks reported record profits of 4 trillion roubles (about $40.7 billion) in 2024, caused by high interest rates and lending growth. Despite the slackening growth rate of lending as interest rates continue to rise, various banks and financial institutions are still offering loan packages for the used car market. These loans typically offer special schemes as compared to purchasing a new car, in the form of lower interest rates and a variety of tenure options.

The market for used cars in Russia and the process of purchasing them have rapidly transitioned to new digital technologies. The indexing of used cars on the Internet has provided consumers with a high degree of transparency and comfort by providing large databases of cars, including specifications and photos. Filters are available in terms of year, make, model and mileage. In 2024, services like "Auto.ru Reports" grew popular with BMW as the most popular brand, which reflected how car history transparency and informed decisions mattered as they built trust and confidence as people purchased used cars in the Russian market.

Consumer preferences change. Mobility trends contribute. In the first eleven months into 2024, Russians spent 6.3 trillion rubles on second-hand cars, compared to 5.8 trillion rubles in all of 2023. Russian consumer environmental awareness has increased, as the second-hand car market is considered more environmentally friendly than driving a new car, because demand for cars is lessened rather than supported in the new car production process. The growth of shared mobility services such as car-sharing and ride-hailing also drives demand for used cars, as they have a lower marginal cost than new cars.
