Not no longer a priority market: China sharply reduced car exports to the Russian Federation

To spread: the Russian Federation has ceased to be a key export market for Chinese cars. In 2025, the PRC twice reduced their supply. Such statistics were published by Bloomberg. In January-February 2025, 57 592 Chinese cars were brought to Russia. The Russian Federation has actually lost the status of the export market # 1 for car manufacturers from the PRC, because it was bypassed Mexico (85,997 cars) and the UAE (71 418). Moreover, Belgium (48. 5 thousand cars) and Saudi Arabia (43.

4 thousand) are approaching Russia, so it is possible that the country will fall from the three priority markets for the Chinese car industry. The main reason for reducing the import of Chinese cars to the Russian Federation is the fall in the market. In February, the sale of new cars in Russia fell by 25%, and in March - at once by 45. 5%. In addition, the situation was influenced by a significant increase in utilization collection in the Russian Federation from January 1, 2025.

It spreads to all imported cars and will continue to grow by 2030. The Russian market was key to China in 2023-2024. After the start of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, the leading world carmakers left the Russian Federation and stopped supplying products. This is what pushed the growth of demand for Chinese cars in Russia, because they, in fact, remained the only available foreign cars that were officially imported into the country.
