Abstract
What is the research?
Finaccord' s report titled Automotive Financial Services in Southern and
Western Europe is an updated and expanded research report investigating the
market for automotive financial services, defined in broad terms, linked to
sales of new and used passenger cars in Southern and Western Europe. In
addition to analysing the €145.7 billion market for finance and leasing
services, the study also offers detailed coverage of ancillary automotive
financial services markets including motor insurance, creditor insurance,
extended warranties, GAP / shortfall protection insurance and road assistance.
In the light of the increasing maturity of finance and leasing markets, the
revenues generated from high margin ancillary products are crucial to
enhancing the profits of a variety of market participants including dealers,
manufacturers and independent finance providers.
The report draws on the results of a survey of 500 leading car dealerships in
eight countries in Southern and Western Europe - Belgium, France, Ireland,
Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the UK - as well as an analysis of
the approach to automotive financial services of 20 leading manufacturer
groups, representing up to 37 automotive brands, in the same countries. The
PartnerBASE™ database that accompanies the report details each of the
marketing initiatives for automotive financial services traced by Finaccord
for both dealer groups and manufacturers. Together, the report and database
will provide you with the definitive guide to current and future opportunities
in automotive financial services in Southern and Western Europe.
