Georgia Becomes Major Net Exporter of Cars

Record supply volumes and a drop in imports are changing the market structure

Georgia has remained a net exporter of cars for the second month in a row, according to Kapital's macro review.

A net exporter is a country (or region) that sells more goods and services abroad than it buys (imports), which leads to a positive trade balance and strengthens its economy.

According to analysts, car imports decreased by 34% in October, while re-exports increased by 19%. TBC Capital experts believe that the negative trade balance will recover later, when accumulated stocks begin to decline and the market returns to its usual structure.

In January–October 2025, the country supplied cars abroad for $2.3 billion, which is a record and an increase of 14.3% year-on-year. In 10 months, 93,000 cars were re-exported. The leader among the destinations remains Kyrgyzstan, which accounts for $1.166 billion, which is 21% more than the previous figure. This market continues to actively absorb the Georgian transit flow of used cars.

At the same time, the total value of car imports increased by approximately 10% and reached $3152 million. Despite the decline in October, interest in imported cars remains high, and the dynamics of recent months show that the Georgian market continues to adapt to new logistics and pricing conditions.
