OREANDA-NEWS. Sales of new cars in Kazakhstan grew by 28.1% in August and they were 4560 units. As Kazakhstan Automobile Industry Association KazAvtoProm noted in the Union of Automobile Industry Enterprises of Kazakhstan, the Kazakhstani market continues uninterrupted growth for four months, and the results of August became the best since the beginning of the year. And although the August result is still far from the indicators of 2015, Kazakhstan's auto retail has already returned to the top of sales of the last year.

During the eight months of 2017, the republic's residents bought 27,451 cars and light commercial vehicles - less by 2.1% than in the same period of the last year. According to KazAvtoProm, these figures could be even higher, but the dealers of the most popular brands were not ready for the current pace of the recovery of market activity - today there is a shortage in warehouses of many popular models. The increase in supplies will realize the potential for growing demand in the rest months of the year.
