Compared to January, the order of market leaders has changed in February; changes may occur in the top five during the year, as new brands and models of domestic production enter the market, however, well-known imported cars are not going to give up their positions in sales.
According to ACAB analysts, 2017 will be a year of stable market, since the peak of the crisis in the automobile market of Kazakhstan occurred in 2016, and the first trends towards recovery were demonstrated by the end of last year.
The recovery in sales will be slow compared to the last crisis period, since the situation is somewhat complicated by objective factors: the volatility of the oil market, alarming signals from the banking sector of Kazakhstan, changes in market conditions due to its stay in the EurAsEC.
