Analysts at Ken Research in their latest
publication “Germany Used Car Market Outlook to 2023 - Led by Surge in Multi-Brand
Dealerships Coupled with Improved Quality and Inspection of Used Cars”
believe that the used cars industry in Germany has been growing
and is expected that it will expand further owing to the entrance of used car
dealerships in the country, better services provided by the dealerships such as
car financing, insurance, inspection and others, rising number of online used
car companies and others. The market is expected to register a positive CAGR of
1.3% in terms of sales volume of used cars and 4.4% in terms of Gross Transaction
Value (GTV) during the forecast period 2018-2023F.
“Amplified geographical expansion model by the used car dealerships and
the shift towards the online space market portals
have driven the growth of used car market in Germany.”
Surge
in the Used Car Listings on Online Portals: The
entrance of online used car companies in Germany has led to an increase in number
of used cars listings on these portals. To tap a larger market in the used car
industry, dealerships have penetrated in the online space by listing the used
cars on the online platforms. The customers get a wide pool of used car variants
on online portals where they can compare and research for themselves that which
used car they want to purchase. These portals perform as a platform where the
buyer and the seller of the used cars can meet; it can be a private seller of a
used car dealership.
Emergence
of Organized Used Car Dealer: The organized sector
of the Germany used car industry was observed to dominate the market in the
year 2018 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period
2018-2023F. Factors such as rising population, declining new car sales,
increased preference for younger used cars, certified used cars, and better
services provides by the dealerships and others have led to the entrance of
both multi-brand and OEM Certified dealerships within Germany. These multi-brand
car dealerships have also started to expand in different regions of the country
to tap a larger market of the country and increase their sales volume.
Lucrative
Interest rates provided by the Used Car Dealerships: A significant number of German customers have inclined towards the
purchase of used car from a dealership which provides financing and insurance
facilities to ease their payment process. Dealerships such as Hey car,
Mobile.de, Autoscout24 and others have started to provide the car financing
options to the customers to ease their purchase of a used car. Financing
provided by the dealerships has been gaining traction owing to the low interest
rate they provide on the used cars which is around 5.5% to 7.2% for a period of
12-84 months. Whereas, Personal loans from regular banks have a high rate of
interest of around 8.5% to 12.0% for a period of 12-72 months.
Germany used car
dealerships were not providing the financing options in the past few years as
their primary focus was on the sale of the used car, owing to which the
customers had to finance their used cars from banks which charged huge interest
rate. With the availability of car financing options at the dealerships over
the years has eased the purchase of a used car in Germany for the customers.
