Now Available: Ukraine Autos Report Q1 2015

Total vehicle production in Ukraine was reported at 28,247 units in 11M14, a drop of 35.9% y-o-y. BMI expects a decrease in production over the remainder of 2014 and into 2015 as trade with Russia, Ukraine's largest export destination, is likely to be curtailed in the coming months on the back of ongoing political tensions. We retain a bearish view on the country's macro picture, which we expect this to deteriorate further. BMI holds the view that the country's manufacturing activity and business environment in general will further deteriorate and believe this will weigh on output growth.

The political and economic crisis will curtail exports as factories in the more industrial East Ukraine slow production due to lack of supplies caused by the instable security situation. Low consumer confidence will cause shrinking demand for passenger vehicles. We expect these dynamics to continue into 2015.

BMI forecasts a 50.0% decline in vehicle sales in Ukraine in 2014. This comes from a 50.0% drop in both passenger cars and in the commercial vehicle (CV) segment. Downside risks to this outlook remain firmly to the downside, as a further deterioration in the political and economic outlook could severely impact vehicle sales.
