Ukrainian Cars market
Renault-Kadjar-2019

Ukrainian Cars market in 2019 immediately recovered from the previous year’s drop. Indeed, the year ended with Total sales at 88.335 (+7.9%). Renault was the new market leader – with 16.5% of share – ahead of Toyota and Kia.

Economic Environment

Ukrainian economy grew solidly in the third quarter, according to a flash estimate. Although the details behind the release are not yet available, buoyant private consumption was likely in the drivers’ seat given wages continued to grow strongly in the period and consumer confidence soared to a 12-year high in September. Industrial production, however, recorded a fourth consecutive drop in September, suggesting the industrial sector likely restrained overall activity somewhat.
Growth is seen broadly steady next year, supported by solid fixed investment thanks to efforts to attract FDI and improve the business climate. In addition, household spending is seen remaining healthy thanks to a tightening labor market and receding inflation. Risks to the outlook stem from backtracking or slow reform momentum, which could hurt recovering confidence.

Market Trend

Ukrainian vehicles market has been hit both by economic and political crisis falling down at near one-tenth of the record level (over 600.000 sales) achieved over a decade ago. The negative peak was hit in 2016, with only 65.516 units sold. Then, the market registered a sign of recovery in 2017 with 82.729 units. However, sales went down 2.4% again in 2018 at 80.742.

In 2019, according to the data released by the Ukranian Association of Automobile Manufacturers, immediately recovered from the previous year’s drop. Indeed, the year ended with Total sales at 88.335 (+7.9%).

In the competitive landscape, after several years in where Toyota played as a protagonist, the Ukranian market is now having a new market leader. Indeed, Renault is currently on top of the ranking, soaring at 67.4%. Renault’s market share registered an astonishing growth during the last decade, moving from 3.4% in 2010 to 16.5%.

Despite losing the market crown, the former leader Toyota is growing in double-digits (+24.7%), holding 14.2% of market share.

Behind, Kia conquered the podium – growing over 2.5 points of market share in just a year – ahead of Skoda and Nissan, which held respectively 7.1% and 6% of share.
