Experts of the Institute of Car Market Research analyzed the statistics of vehicle registrations in Ukraine in October and identified the most popular models in three segments of buses: import of used, domestic resale and purchase of new ones.
Bus market dynamics
In October 2024, Ukrainian carriers purchased 704 new and used buses. This is 15.6% less than in the same period last year, but 1.3% more than in September 2024.
Of all types of commercial transport (trucks, trailers, etc.), in October only the bus segment saw an increase in volumes. In all other segments, on the contrary, there is a significant decrease in rates. At the same time, it should be taken into account that the market of cars for passenger transportation in itself is not too large, and any change can affect the total volumes on it. For example, in September this was facilitated by tenders for routes and state orders, in October the segment "pulled up" the import of cars with mileage.
By individual sub-segments, the dynamics of bus sales is as follows (comparing last month to the previous month, MM, and last month to the same month last year, YY):
- Domestic resales: +0.2% MM, -14.0% YY
- Used imports: +36.1% MM, -27.2% YY
- New imports: +10.0% MM, -15.4% YY
- Made in Ukraine: −14% MM, −12% YY
Most of the buses were bought on the domestic market : 517 units., which accounted for 73.4% of the total.
11.8% of used buses, or 83 units, were brought from abroad.
Also last month, 104 new buses were registered for the first time: 93 of them were manufactured or converted in Ukraine ( 13.2% ), the remaining 11 (1.4%) came from abroad.
