Car loans are a financial offering provided by banking companies and government institutions to enable consumers to purchase their vehicle without paying the full price at the time of transfer of ownership. Instead, consumers pay the principal amount of the price along with the interest rate on the loan in periodic installments and gain ownership rights on the vehicle upon completion of the price payment.
The market is being driven by soaring prices of second-hand vehicles and the increasing launches of new vehicles in the UK. With rising inflation, banks are focusing on encouraging consumer savings by putting forth simple terms and conditions for acquiring loans, which is leading to the United Kingdom car loan market development.
Greater preference for used vehicles; availability of multiple car loan financing options; the switch towards the adoption of four-wheelers; and ease of online loan payment are the major trends impacting the United Kingdom car loan market growth.
Britishers are three times more likely to purchase a used car over a brand-new vehicle, especially true for the younger population (aged 18-24 years).
Britishers typically enter into a hire purchase agreement or take a personal/guarantor loan to finance their vehicle purchase, among other options.
Nearly half of all bike owners are planning to purchase their own vehicle in a few years in the United Kingdom.
The increased convenience and flexibility associated with online payment of car loans are expected to boost the market growth.
Personal contract purchase and personal contract hire are some car loan financing options that British consumers choose to finance their new/used vehicle purchases. According to the Financing and Leasing Association of the UK, the demand for car leasing reached a value of 2.33 billion pounds in 2022 and recorded a year-on-year growth of 28% from November 2021. This growth in the popularity of car leasing as a financing option is expected to contribute to the United Kingdom car loan market growth.
The proliferation of digital banking services has contributed to the popularity of car loan financing in the UK. Consumers can gain information about car policies, interest rates, and installment sizes online, which facilitates their decision-making process about vehicle purchases. The ease and high speed associated with making online payments for car loans is also impacting the United Kingdom car loan market demand favourably.
