Kyrgyzstan Sees Increase in Car Imports for March 2025

Kyrgyzstan’s car imports increased in March 2025, with 9,300 vehicles imported, 1,000 more than February. However, this figure is still down 2.4 times from March 2024. South Korea was the largest contributor, supplying 4,400 cars. The total for Q1 stands at nearly 30,000, nearly half of last year’s imports.

According to recent statistics from the National Statistics Committee, the importation of vehicles into Kyrgyzstan saw a notable increase in March 2025. A total of 9,300 passenger cars were brought into the country, marking an increase of 1,000 units over February’s figures. However, this number still represents a significant decline, as imports were down 2.4 times when compared to the same period last year.

Breaking down the origins of the vehicles, South Korea led the way with 4,400 cars imported, followed by 2,300 from China. Additionally, around 760 cars came from Georgia, while the USA contributed about 560 vehicles. Despite this growth from February, the overall trend for the first quarter shows that imports totaled nearly 30,000 cars—a figure that reveals an almost 50% reduction from 2024’s numbers.

The sharp decline in car imports year-on-year raises concerns about the automotive market in Kyrgyzstan, which is still facing challenges amidst changing economic conditions. The data suggests a slow recovery from previous downturns but highlights ongoing issues that may affect future imports. As of now, both consumers and industry experts will be watching closely to see if these import trends continue to improve in the coming months, especially in light of international economic shifts.

In summary, while March 2025 marked a recovery in vehicle imports to Kyrgyzstan compared to February, the statistics reveal that the overall trend is still downward when viewed against figures from the previous year. The data suggests interest in imported vehicles persists, but economic challenges are hindering a full recovery of the automotive market.
