United Kingdom Car Dealers Market Update 2014
M2 - Tue Jun 03, 10:02AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dnx57x/car_dealers) has announced the addition of the "Car Dealers Market Update 2014" report to their offering. The authors estimate that in 2013, the car dealers market within the UK defined as the sale of passenger cars and light motor vehicles grew by 5.2%. This growth was largely attributable to the robustness of the new car sector within the market, which saw a substantive recovery in the number of new vehicle registrations in both 2012 and 2013. The volume of used car sales continued its decline in 2013, although more optimistic signs are evident for the future. The car dealer market within the UK is a highly competitive segment, with numerous and varying enterprises contained within it, ranging from major global and domestic multi-franchise vehicle distributors, to less-imposing regional single-franchised operations, alongside a considerable number of smaller independent used car dealerships. The UK automotive industry, including car dealerships, is currently undertaking somewhat of a robust renewal, particularly in comparison to some European countries whose own automotive industries continue to remain sluggish. The momentum within the industry marks an impressive departure from a few years previously when the automotive industry suffered particularly harshly as a result of the 2008/2009 recession and subsequent economic downturn. Presently, in distinct contrast to European competitors, where output and registration of new vehicles continue to decline, the UK automotive industry has witnessed robust growth in the number of new passenger car registrations, with growth of 5.3% and 10.8% witnessed in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Although the automotive industry is, to some extent, not reaching its full potential due to factors such as high fuel prices and the rising popularity of car sharing the industry nevertheless is benefiting from the broader economic recovery apparent within the UK, which has seen consumer spending rise following positive economic data concerning lower inflation, lower unemployment, rising wages and low interest rates. The authors forecast that in light of the acceleration of economic growth in the UK, and the subsequent rise in disposable incomes, consumers will continue to purchase both new and used cars at increasing levels in the coming years, which in turn will benefit the car dealership market.

Car Dealers Market Report 2013
M2 - Fri Jul 19, 10:02AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/v35jpq/car_dealers) has announced the addition of the "Car Dealers Market Report 2013" report to their offering. In 2012, the UK car dealer market defined as the sale of passenger cars and light motor vehicles was estimated to have grown by 1.3%. This growth is attributable to the new car segment of the market, following a major recovery in the number of new vehicle registration in 2012, despite the continued economic uncertainty. The car dealer market is highly competitive, with numerous enterprises engaged in it, ranging from major international and domestic multi-franchise vehicle distributors to regional single-franchised operations, alongside a huge number of small independent used car dealerships. Despite growth in the value of the passenger car and light commercial vehicle sales in 2012, the car dealer segment has yet to recover from the impact of the economic downturn. In both the new and used sectors, volume sales remain significantly lower than pre-crash peaks in 2007 and 2006, respectively. However, with consumer demand on the rise, and increasingly innovative and fuel-efficient vehicles on offer, the new car sector is driving recovery, experiencing its highest year-on-year growth rate in over a decade in 2012. The dominant issue currently impacting the market is the decarbonisation of UK roads, with European and national regulations, Government-led funding schemes and industry investment all focused on the development and commercialisation of ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEVs) and the supportive infrastructure.
