Research On The International Competitiveness Of Russian Automobile Industry

The development of the Russian automobile industry has not been smooth sailing.The past ten years have been mainly carried out in accordance with the "2010-2020 Automobile Industry Development Strategy" formulated by the Russian Federation Government.The key task is to increase market demand for domestic automobile production.At present,Russia has undergone a substantial transformation from a country that mainly imports second-hand cars to a more developed car assembly country.The current competitiveness of Russian auto products is still very low.Due to the global procurement of auto assembly by global auto giants,the share of domestic auto parts manufacturers in Russia has been greatly reduced,further impacting the development of Russia’s auto industry.In the current environment of continuous innovation in the global automotive market,the thesis studies the international competitiveness of the Russian automotive industry and its influencing factors,which has a certain promotion significance for the future development of the Russian automotive industry.The proposed improvement measures have certain reference value and are beneficial to Solve the problems of the domestic market mainly targeted by Russian automakers and the weak competitiveness of the Russian auto industry.The thesis first introduces the research background and significance based on the relevant information of the Russian automobile industry,reviews the domestic and foreign research literature,and proposes the research content,methods and innovation points of this thesis.Second,an overview of the relevant theories of industry competitiveness,including classical trade theory,competitive advantage theory,international competitiveness theory,and industrial cluster theory.Third,analyze the development status of the Russian auto industry from four parts: the development environment of the Russian auto industry,the status quo of the development scale of the Russian auto industry,the investment status of the Russian auto industry and the development status of the foreign trade of the Russian auto industry.Fourth,use the four indicators of Trade Competitiveness Index(TC),International Market Share(IMS),Revealed Comparative Advantage Index(RCA)and Revealed Competitive Comparative Advantage Index(CA)to assess the current status of the Russian automotive industry’s international competitiveness Carry out a specific and sufficient assessment and make a horizontal comparison with the five major global auto countries of China,Germany,Japan,the United States,and South Korea to find out the gaps in the Russian auto industry.Fifth,based on the "Porter Diamond Model",analyze the factors influencing the competitiveness of the Russian automobile industry through the six elements of production factor conditions,demand conditions,structure and competition,related industries and supporting industries,government policies and industry opportunities.Finally,it puts forward countermeasures and suggestions on how to improve the international competitiveness of the Russian automobile industry,and finds the most suitable measures to deal with the unfavorable factors of the Russian automobile industry’s international competitiveness by learning from the effective experience of major global automobile manufacturing countries in solving industry competitiveness problems.
