New Plan of Digital Action Disrupts The Automotive Retailing Ecosystem

Posted on Apr 7, 2020 | Category: Dealers

Though digitization has taken all over the automotive industry and is changing the face of the global landscape, the automotive dealers and retailers sector has been a slow responder to the digital transformation. Auto retailers have been slow to embrace e-commerce, but the coronavirus pandemic is changing that. There has been a sudden rise in online traffic even as showroom footfall has dipped amidst the coronavirus outbreak. This has kick-started the inevitable digital transformation in automotive retailing that was long overdue. It’s not like there were no measures taken by OEMs to embrace the digital ecosystem, rather it was being done at a slow place but now things are changing rapidly. The concept of social distancing seems to be working in the favour as dealers are now closing deals with interacting with the clients physically. They are leveraging digital tools to arrange vehicles to be picked up or delivered by and this has eliminated the need for customers to step out of their homes and visit the dealerships. However, it can’t be denied that vehicle sales have taken a dip as most of the global economies face lockdown for an uncertain period due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Talking about Europe, new car registrations fell 7.4% to 1.135 million vehicles in the European Union, Britain and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries, as per the statistics by European Auto Industry Association (ACEA). This is an aftereffect of China – one of the global manufacturing hubs for the automobile industry being plagued by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, desperate times call for desperate measures and the automobile industry is adopting some innovative methods to keep the sales afloat.
