Market Restraints and Challenges

In this day and age, cyber security should be a top priority in companies of all types and sizes. The number of threats and their sophistication is increasing by the day. Data has become the lifeblood of most organizations and the major driver of day-to-day operations and top-level decision-making. Security breaches that lead to loss of data can result in a catastrophe. Not taking cyber security seriously can lead to irreparable reputational damage, fines issues with licensing in the case of regulated businesses, adverse media coverage, increased anxiety stress levels in the workforce, business interruption, and breach of privacy financial losses. And some of the DMS solutions are unable to counter cyber-attacks. Thus, security concerns due to the lack of cybersecurity measures are acting as a restraining factor for the global dealer management system market.

Major Players in the Global Dealer Management System Market COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic compelled many countries to impose lockdown in 2020, which ravaged businesses in these countries and led to the discontinuation of auto dealership operations. DMS helps dealers to stay updated regarding the current market trends and changes. Thus, a slump in the businesses of dealers also slightly hindered the growth of the dealer management systems market in 2020.

However, as per the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), the US government allowed the auto dealership business in the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Since auto dealers were back in business, the demand for the DMS upsurged, specifically in the North American region.
