Driving growth through roadblocks:
October 2014
A look at Russia’s automotive finance market
2 | Driving growth through roadblocks: A look at Russia’s automotive finance market
Foreword
After exhibiting strong economic growth over the last
decade, the Russian market has been impacted in the
last two years due to the cooling down of global oil
demand, high domestic inflation, currency depreciation
compounded by ongoing political disputes with the EU
and the US. These roadblocks have raised concerns in the
investor community, and stakeholders across industries
are looking keenly at the latest market developments to
formulate their future market strategies.
The automotive industry remains a critical component
of the overall Russian economy, and the Government
has focused on developing the domestic supply chain,
skill set and R&D base to attract international automotive
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers.
While these players continue to focus on Russia as a
growth driver, recent economic and political issues have
impacted vehicle sales and consumer sentiment. Financing

is expected to play a crucial role in driving future growth
in the Russian automotive market. Traditionally, Russian
consumers preferred to buy vehicles with personal
available cash/savings. Gradually, automotive financing
has gained momentum with rising vehicle ownership costs,
higher credit availability and government-interest subsidy
programs. Captive banks are starting to grow and will
provide tough competition for larger banks.
We remain positive about the long-term prospects of the
Russian automotive industry and believe that realized
and declared investments will help to change the current
situation in the industry and make it more competitive in
the next few years. We would be glad to share with you our
market experience and assist you in your business activity,
helping you identify investment opportunities, as well as
providing risk, operational and cost management advisory
services.

The economic situation in Russia has been further aggravated by the political dispute with Ukraine and resulting
economic sanctions from the EU and the US. Furthermore, the depreciation of the ruble against the dollar and the
euro has hampered import-export trade and fiscal deficit targets.

4 | Driving growth through roadblocks: A look at Russia’s automotive finance market
Russia is still a dynamic and high-potential
market for the global automotive industry
The market has a promising long-term outlook despite short-term decline
After recording significant growth during 2009–12, the Russian automotive market started reporting a decline
in sales from 2013 due to economic concerns, political crisis, currency deprecation, high interest rates and
negative consumer confidence and affordability.
However, the long-term prospects of the Russian automotive market remain intact with significant room to
expand vehicle penetration, replacement of the aging vehicle park and government incentives to drive demand.

7Driving growth through roadblocks: A look at Russia’s automotive finance market
High growth in the auto finance market expected to drive competition between established universal banks as
well as captive and small banks
• OEMs also choose to tie up with different domestic banks, which bring in an already existing client base and can save high investment
costs of setting up their own business.
• However, captive units are best placed in the eco-system to drive OEMs’ sales growth agenda and also play a critical role in customer
life cycle management.

Russia, with increasing presence of banks in
secondary market purchases
Automotive dealers are set to drive the shift toward organized used car
sales channels

9Driving growth through roadblocks: A look at Russia’s automotive finance market
Vehicle leasing for commercial use has grown
exponentially over the last few years
Leasing has now started to become an essential element of sustainable
development for small and medium enterprises
“Originally, leasing in Russia was popular for
large companies, but today it has become an
essential element of sustainable development
for small and medium-sized businesses.
Individual entrepreneurs are increasingly
resorting to this instrument being more
profitable and convenient compared with
credit financing.”
Jens Diehlmann
Global Automotive Finance Leader, EY
• Car leasing for individual/SME use is expected to
grow and compete with car loan products. This
segment has the potential to garner a significant
portion of the car financing/leasing market.
• Captive leasing companies, with current low
penetration, have significant room to grow by
providing flexible and customized leasing products.
