Abstract: AvtoVAZ is the largest passenger carmaker in Russia having one of the biggest production lines (144 km) in the world. Till the end of the 20th century, AvtoVAZ dominated the Russian market with 90% market share.

By the turn of the 21st century, Russia's car market began booming due to a healthy economy and high export revenues, triggering off high purchasing power and the demand for new lifestyles.

Due to huge demand for cars, many foreign carmakers started foraying into Russia, and with customer preference shifting to foreign cars AvtoVAZ started losing market share.
