Primorje lags behind its neighbors in the Far East in the used car market.
The demand for used cars in the Far East in October increased by 7% compared to September.
No other macro-region has shown such growth, Daruma analysts reckoned. In Russia, sales for the month increased by 5%, but until October last year they decreased by 5%.
Demand in the district grew the fastest in the Khabarovsk Territory (12%) and in the Amur region (11%). In Buryatia the market grew by 7% during the month, in Transbaikalia by 4%.
Primorje, with a growth of 2%, was the last of the top five regions, and in October last year the regional market decreased by 2%.
Analysts attribute the annual decline to a high base. In the fall of 2025, the demand was due to the expectation of new rules for calculating recycling collection.
During the month, only Japanese car sales increased in Primorye, by 3%. Chinese cars were bought by 21% less, American and European by 14%, Korean and German by 4%, local by 3%.
For ten months, growth continues in all five regions. Amur region is at the top (13%), followed by Khabarovsk Territory (12%) and Buryatia (11%).
In Primorye the market grew by 9%, in Transbaikalia by 7%. During this period, the demand for Chinese cars in Primorye increased by 45% and for German cars by 31%.
The secondary market in the country for ten months grew by 10%, the Far East by 9%. Sales are growing the fastest in the Volga region (29%) and in the Central District (26%).
