The Ministry of Industry and Trade announced the growth of the radio electronics market and an increase in the share of Russian manufacturers to 62% in 2025, although many domestic electronic components continue to lose significantly to Chinese ones in price.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade estimates the total capacity of the radio electronics market in Russia at 3-4 trillion rubles by the end of 2025, Vedomosti writes .
At least a quarter of this volume (1-1.2 trillion rubles) He is making a state order, according to Yuri Plyasunov, director of the Department of Radioelectronic Industry at the Ministry. The share of Russian manufacturers in the radio electronics market increased from 12%-12.5% in 2020 to 62% in 2025, said Plyasunov.
The radio electronics market is usually understood as all telecommunications equipment, servers, data storage systems (DSS), industrial electronics, microelectronics, printed circuit boards, various specialized electronic devices, etc., explained Anton Averyanov, CEO of the ST IT Group of companies, TechNet NTI market expert.
The defense and aerospace industries, specialized industrial electronics, part of telecom equipment, solutions for critical infrastructure and certain classes of computing equipment are now the most localized, said Olga Kvashenkina, CEO of SNDGlobal holding.
The shares of local manufacturers may vary depending on the type of equipment, added Grigory Revazyan, CEO of ANO Telecommunications Equipment. For example, the share of domestic telecommunications equipment in the regulated market is already more than 70%, and in the base station category, the share is still small.
In mass consumer electronics and in the electronic component base, the Russian market is also still dependent on imports, Kvashenkina added.
At the end of 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed extending for two years the validity period of subsidies under the state programs "Development of the Electronic and Radioelectronic Industry" and "Scientific and Technological Development", which the Association of Electronics Developers and Manufacturers (ARPE) requested from 2023 in order to avoid fines and demands to return subsidies from the Ministry of Industry and Trade due to the lack of the Russian market of necessary equipment and Russian processors.
By the end of 2025, the Russian market of electronic components decreased by 18.3%, and according to ARPE forecasts, the decline will continue by another 8.4%. At the same time, the share of domestic components decreased from 28% to 26%, giving way to finished Chinese products.
Currently, the main demand for domestic radio-electronic solutions is stimulated by increased localization and regulatory regulation, and the price difference between imported products remains critical for the industry, said Mikhail Dobrokhotov, Director of Government Relations at GS Group.
The country has a national regime in public procurement, a program of preferential loans. Due to tax preferences, as Plyasunov said, companies in the electronic industry save about 100 billion rubles a year.
Dobrokhotov believes that in addition to the existing ones, an effective measure may be the introduction of a technological fee with different rates for domestic and imported products or the introduction of a mechanism for refunding funds to the registered manufacturer.
In 2024, the authorities allocated 26.5 billion rubles to finance the state program "Development of the electronic and Radioelectronic Industry", in 2025 the amount was planned to be reduced to 14.4 billion, and in 2026 the Ministry of Industry and Trade was going to cut it to 4.9 billion rubles. Meanwhile, according to the instructions of President Vladimir Putin, by 2030 the output in the industry should increase to 6.3 trillion rubles. It is expected that this will provide about 70% of the country's needs.
