Motor Vehicle Dealers in Ireland - Industry Market Research Report

In reverse: An influx of used vehicles limits new cars sales, pushing car dealer's revenue down in recent years

Car dealers' revenue is forecast to fall at a compound annual rate of 6.4% over the five years through 2023 to €17.6 billion, including expected growth of 0.8% in 2023. Car dealers performed strongly in 2018, supported by rising disposable income and high consumer and business confidence boosting vehicle sales. However in the years following, the selling prices of both new and used vehicles crept downwards, with car dealers' revenue following suit.
