Minsk, January 21 (Xinhua) — The increase in recycling fees for legal entities in Belarus in 2025 has led to a radical change in the structure of automobile imports, causing a sharp redistribution of shares between the corporate and private sectors, according to the Automobile Association (BAA).
It is noted that a comparison of data for the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2025 reveals dramatic shifts. Imports of new cars by legal entities fell by half, by 8,500 units. The most significant decline occurred in the segment of car imports from Russia, where volumes fell by 3.4 times (by 6,000 units). In contrast, individual car imports increased by 2.7 times (by 5,400 units). This trend continued to accelerate throughout the year.
"We are seeing a trend toward a shift in imports toward unorganized imports by individuals. Business flows, especially from Russia, have sharply declined. At the same time, the market has become more oriented toward individuals who are actively taking advantage of the regulatory advantages created. This is a new reality for the Belarusian auto market," the association concluded.
