Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov announced that the share of Russian cars in the domestic market should increase to 80% by 2035. According to him, in 2024, this figure has already reached 55%, which became possible thanks to the implementation of a comprehensive program of state industrial subsidies.
44% was the share of Russian cars last year, and this year, in 10 months, it is already 55%. And in the new strategy that we are currently discussing, our task is to return to pre-crisis, pre-sanction levels. We have set a goal of returning the market share to 80% by 2035 for cars that are produced in our country.
Support for automakers includes both direct financial measures — such as compensation for part of the production costs and preferential car loans — and stimulating the localization of the component base. These steps not only strengthen the position of the domestic automotive industry, but also reduce dependence on imports in the face of changing external economic conditions.
Experts note that achieving the target level of 80% will require further modernization of production facilities, development of cooperation with Russian suppliers, and adaptation of models to current consumer requirements, including the transition to more environmentally friendly and technological solutions.
