Thus, the above data indicates that automotive sales are high in Germany, and people prefer to avail of an automotive loan, which drives the automotive loan market in Germany.

Surging Prices of Cars Fuels the Market Growth

In Germany, the need for borrowing when purchasing a car is logical, given that the purchase cost is typically insufficient to cover one's own income or assets. Few car buyers actually have the money saved, thus the majority of them must use an auto loan to buy the desired car. Germany's primary mode of transport is the automotive, which the Germans value above all else. People in Germany choose to take out loans since the average cost of a new car is about USD 38,000, which is relatively high. The auto loan's interest rate is low since the vehicle can be used as collateral up until the last payment is made. Therefore, due to the low-interest rates , people prefer loans to buy car which is driving the automotive loan market in Germany.

Increased Automobile Sales is Boosting Market Growth

The primary driver behind the growth of automotive loans is an increase in consumer demand for luxury cars in Germany. For instance, according to CEIC data 2021, Germany Motor Vehicles Revenue reached 2,973,319 units, down from 3,266,759 units, the year before. Compared to previous year, the overall penetration rate of auto finance in Germany has expanded significantly due to the rise in automobile consumption, modifications in residents' consumption notions, and improvement in the consumer finance sector. Thus, the automotive loan is boosting in Germany.

Prevalence of Automotive Loan Among Millennial Population Boosting the Market Growth

According to a survey by business consulting Duff & Phelps, German millennials' attitude regarding cars show that 81 percent of Germans born since 1980, now own or lease a vehicle, compared to an EU average of 79 percent. Today, the usage of cars is more common among millennials in Germany, than in the entire EU. Among young Germans, 61 percent said they would prefer to purchase a vehicle with a combustion engine, while only 32 percent said they would choose an electric or a hybrid vehicle.
