The price increase did not increase the car supply / Is the car expensive in Iran?
According to Trade News, automakers claimed that an 18% increase in the price of factory cars would increase production and supply to the market. But over time, supply has not increased. The increase in supply seems to depend on other elements.
Babak Sadraei, an expert in the automotive industry, told Tejarat News: “Not all factors in the Iranian automotive industry depend on the rial.” No country can produce all the parts of its product.
He added: “The outcome of the nuclear talks will affect the situation of the dollar, and this will affect the price of the car and its supply.”
The car is expensive
The expert continued: “But the main issue is the amount of supply.” The automakers claimed that with an 18% increase in prices, supply would also increase. Isn’t there a study of how the market volume changes with rising prices?
He said: it should be taken into account that cars are really expensive in Iran. At the same time, the market volume is decreasing.
Sadraei added: the car industry depends on several issues. The main factor is currency conditions. Also, economic conditions, production costs and inefficiency of officials are among the factors that must be eliminated so that the car can be produced and marketed in Iran at a reasonable price. Increased production occurs when new platforms are purchased and mass-produced.
He explained: The amount of gasoline consumption of each safari car produced in the country is almost two or three times that of world cars. If we calculate the amount of gasoline consumed, we will see what damage is done to the country’s economy.
Increasing production will not be implemented soon
Regarding the amount of production as a result of the price increase, Sadraei said: “If the major problems of the country are solved and the sanctions and the flow of parts are eliminated, there will be competition and the amount of supply will increase.”
According to him, of course, this increase in car supply will not be realized in 1401 and may happen in 1402.
