2024: Auto Parts Market Size Up 15% to ₽650 Billion for the Year
The volume of the Russian auto parts market reached ₽650 billion in 2024, showing an increase of 15% compared to the previous 2023. This became known in June 2025. The data was published by the analytical agency Avtostat on the basis of its own research.
Domestic manufacturers provided the main contribution to the growth of the auto parts market - their share in total sales increased by 10 percentage points in 2024. Russian companies took a record position, reaching 45% of the total sales of auto components in the country. Analysts associate this result with the expansion of the line of localized goods and the active substitution of imports against the background of restrictions on external supplies.
Analysts explain the growth in demand for Russian auto parts in 2024 by the course of import substitution, which is consistently implemented by the Russian government. Support measures for local manufacturers have reduced dependence on foreign supplies and increased the share of domestic goods in the auto component market.
The decrease in imports of auto parts to Russia in 2024 was 20% compared to the previous 2023. This decline was partially offset by the growth of domestic production capacities: enterprises of the domestic auto industry increased the production of components, which made it possible to maintain stable supplies on the market.
The Russian auto parts market in 2024 demonstrated not only growth in volumes, but also structural changes. Many domestic manufacturers have modernized production lines, which made it possible to improve the quality of products and reduce technological dependence on imports.
Demand for auto parts for cars operating in Russia for more than 10 years is expected to grow. The aging fleet creates additional opportunities for the development of the aftermarket.[1]
2023: Auto parts production growth by 18.9% to ₽446,16 billion
Analytical company TK Solutions in early February 2025 published a study of the auto parts market, according to which the volume of production of components and accessories for vehicles in Russia in 2023 reached ₽446,16 billion, an increase of 18.9% compared to 2022.
According to experts, the average annual increase in the production of auto components for the period from 2017 to 2023 amounted to 4.1%. The leader in production was the Volga Federal District with a share of 59.1%, in second place was the Central Federal District with 16.3%.
According to the analytical agency Avtostat, the capacity of the secondary auto parts market in 2023 amounted to $30 billion, of which $23 billion falls on parts for foreign cars and $7 billion on spare parts for Russian cars.
Tatiana Kolosunina, Marketing Director of NPK Avtopribor, noted that domestic manufacturers occupy about 20% of the total auto component market and continue to increase the production of batteries, tires, ignition plugs and other consumables.
Tires (11%), suspension parts (10%) and operating fluids (8.4%) occupy the largest share in the structure of the auto components market. Brake parts (6.1%), filters (4.7%) and steering parts (4.4%) also account for a significant share.
Tatyana Ovchinnikova, director of the Fit Service maintenance station network, stressed that the market for suppliers and manufacturers of auto parts has successfully adapted to new conditions, forming alternative supply chains.
Co-owner of Zaufer Autoparts Alex Werner predicts further growth in the auto parts market in Russia in 2025, provided that there are no serious external shocks and stability in international payments.
The growth in the production of auto components is due to an increase in the average age of cars in Russia, which reached 15 years in 2023, which is two years more than in 2019.[2]
2020
Dependence on import of components remains
In 2020, the volume of car production in Russia decreased by 35%, and the volume of sales - by 45% compared to 2012. But the volume of imported auto components decreased less - by 20%. The purchase of some types of parts has even grown. Imports of parts for internal combustion engines in 2020 exceeded the level of 2012-2013. Thanks to the localization of foreign industries in Russia, it was possible to reduce the share of imports of cars, but not components.
The Russian market for counterfeit auto parts was estimated at 27 billion rubles
The Russian market for counterfeit auto parts was estimated at 27 billion rubles. This figure is only 2.4% of the total auto parts market, it is about the same as around the world. In March 2021, it was reported that the desire to save money on the purchase of spare parts for cars is not the only reason why people prefer to buy counterfeit. About 59% of motorists admit that they do not know how to distinguish an original part from a fake one. Many admit that there are counterfeit spare parts that are better in quality than the original ones.
