Digitalization Empowers Leasing Industry Growth, and the Market is Expected to Reach $202.50 Billion by the End of 2023
Vehicle leasing addresses the challenges companies face in meeting their mobility needs, including funding, fleet maintenance, and handling residual risk. In the current market conditions, companies - both big and small - must focus on their core products and services; therefore, they look to outsource all other support activities, including mobility, which requires significant resources in terms of money and time. From fleet purchases to re-marketing at a better price, and for each intermediary segment in the value chain, issues, such as unnecessary cost spikes, utilization mismatches, fleet maintenance irregularities, and the risk of dips in residual value, can crop up. Corporates prefer leasing their fleets as a hassle-free service with benefits, including on-demand mobility and aftermarket services. This demand has driven growth and provided the leasing market with structure and a regulated ecosystem.
