About Us

AV Automotive Research is an information, research and consulting firm fully engaged in the automotive sector. Started up in 1994, it is now the primary supplier of automotive market intelligence in the Baltic States, covering Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Our regional information is as much quality, consistent and uniform as possible.

Accumulated, the Baltic States with just 27.5 thousand units of new light vehicles (M1&N1) registered in 2010, +8.7% as compared to 2009, the worst year of the economic crisis, may appear a rather small market indeed. Unfortunately, the figure is a steep decline by almost 72% from its peak of 97.3 thousand units in 2007. Fortunately, registrations are recovering fast since the mid-2010 and it is forecasted the recovery to hit the pace in 2011 and remain on the rise in the coming years.

In the long term, there is an estimated potential of some 150-180 thousand units of new light vehicles per year. In this case the market of the Baltic States could compare with that of the Czech Republic. The sales structure in the region is much closer to that of Western Europe rather than Central/Eastern Europe. So, many interesting things are happening in the Baltic States and you can track them.
