Abstract: Due to the active process of development of the automotive industry cluster in Sankt Petersburg and Leningrad region the problem of creating the efficient infrastructure has become especially important. It becomes important not only to launch new projects of foreign suppliers and own production, but to develop infrastructure for testing procedures. The study presents the analysis of current and future demands in the test support for automotive components in St.Petersburg and Leningrad region. The study applied following methods: collecting, organizing, analyzing sectorial information, interrogating representatives of the industry. The results were classified in following groups. The first group of results determines the need for automotive companies in the test service and the necessary equipment, as well as criteria for the selection of test laboratories. The second group of results allowed to estimate the growth rate of the costs and demand for automotive components testing support. The third group allowed to determine the need for a united test center for automotive companies. The key factors, determining the specific market, have been revealed. Basing on primary data the research makes recommendations regarding the volume of the market requiring the testing of auto components and the creation of an unified testing center. The results revealed the fact that the current level of development of Russian market for automotive components test support should be defined as the initial. The main reason for carrying out the tests overseas is the lack of the necessary infrastructure to support testing of automotive components. Creating a united test center for automotive companies can be regarded as one of the steps towards the establishment of this infrastructure. State and municipal authorities can use established facts for analytical purposes.
