Consumer Automotive Financial Services in the UK investigates the market for automotive financial services linked to sales of new and used passenger cars to individual buyers in the UK. In addition to analysing the market for finance and leasing services, the study also covers motor insurance, road assistance, extended warranties, prepaid service contracts, GAP insurance, minor damage insurance, MOT protection and tyre insurance.
Using survey results for average take-up rates for finance and leasing propositions at the point of sale, data for the size and growth of the automotive finance and leasing market for consumers in the UK is provided in terms of gross advances and assets leased for 2014 to 2018 with splits between finance for new and used cars and between finance organised through dealerships at the point of sale and directly with banks or other lending or leasing providers.
Moreover, also by means of data for average take-up rates, the markets for motor insurance, road assistance, extended warranties, prepaid service contracts, GAP insurance, minor damage insurance, MOT protection and tyre insurance are sized in terms of gross written premiums and other revenues sold through the automotive trade (i.e. via dealers and manufacturers) in 2018. These markets, estimated to be worth GBP 2.19 billion in total in 2018, are broken down between new and used cars, and between new contracts sold during 2015 and in-force business sold in previous years but still being renewed in 2018. In addition, data depicting the growth (or decline) of these markets is provided for each year since 2014, thereby illustrating the extent to which the ancillary revenues that they generate are becoming more (or less) important to the automotive trade.
