What is the future with Russian Car Market? Do you expect to see many international players coming in ? According to you how secure is the Automobile market?

Russia is a relatively new car market, but already well infiltrated by European and Far East car makers.
The domestic production is well behind in quality and on its way to extinction.
GAZ and AutoVAZ are 20 years behing the competition, with very little chance to catch up.

French, German, Japanese and Korean automakers are already there, and Russia could become the workshop of Europe because of low wages. It rest to be seen if the quality can be maintained: European customers are more demanding than Russian buyers.

I suppose AvtoVAZ in medium-term perspective could feel comfortable. They will get money from goverment and goverment have to save this auto-factory-monster.
GAZ, Kamaz and other russian plants already fired part of emloyes and future looks very hazily

BTW, all foreign auto-companies (bith importing cars and who has factory in Russia) are increased prices in this year from 5 to 25%.

Whatever the Russian government wants to spend rescuing and supporting AutoVAZ, the customers will have the final word.
It is symptomatic that for the same amount of money, many Russians customers prefer to buy an imported second-hand car from abroad than a brand-new Russian car.
Unless Russian cars become more sophisticated and attractive to the market, they will suffer when compared to foreign cars, and the Russian government can't do a thing about it.
If Russian car companies can quickly develop a new generation of vehicles competing on equal termns with the competition, they will survive.
If they can't, they will go under and become assembly plants for foreign carmakers.

Russia is not alone in these predicaments, the allmighty USA suffer from the same problem: a divorce between what they are able to provide, and the needs of the market.

Car traffic has grown like rabbits in St Petersburg the last nine years that we have lived here. The Lada doesn't represent the abilities and self-respect of Russian technology. It's manufacturer has to retool and make a stronger, less polluting, and prima car that anyone would be proud to own.
