Industry trends:

The motor vehicle dealer industry (NAICS 5511) is currently experiencing notable qualitative trends driven by several factors. There is a significant shift toward online and digital retailing, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has pushed dealerships to enhance their online presence and offer virtual tours, online financing, and home delivery options. Customer behavior is leaning towards a preference for a seamless online experience that includes browsing, purchasing, and after-sales services.

Electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid models are increasingly dominating the market, with growing consumer awareness and government incentives bolstering their adoption. Dealerships are consequently expanding their inventories to include more EVs and investing in training for their staff to handle these advanced vehicles effectively. Moreover, sustainability trends are forcing dealerships to adopt greener practices, from energy-efficient showroom designs to eco-friendly service options.

In the near future, it is expected that the focus on digital and omnichannel sales strategies will continue to intensify. The integration of AI and advanced data analytics will help dealerships better understand consumer preferences and personalize the sales process. Additionally, the rising concern over supply chain issues is prompting dealers to maintain higher inventory levels or adopt just-in-time inventory systems to manage fluctuations in vehicle availability.
