“While oil price in 2019 is expected to linger at a relatively high level, government bodies are encouraging EV production via incentives and tax reductions. In alignment with this wave, the Thai Finance Ministry reduced excise tax rates for EV cars since 2017, driving domestic sales of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). This trend will likely continue into 2019 despite the expected decline in the overall domestic automotive sales”.
Analysts at Ken Research in their the latest publication “Thailand Auto Finance Market Outlook to 2024: Growing The prominence of Captive Finance Companies and Loan Portfolio of Banks acting as a The catalyst for Market Growth” believe that the market demand is likely to follow a growing trend in the near future due to a forthcoming increase in the used cars sales and a shift towards newer models of mobility such as car-sharing and leasing, which will, in turn, help the economy grow as well. Some positive factors expected to impact the market are the influx of digitization based lending models (introduction of fin-tech products), the spread of customized loan products and a further rise in the penetration rate of banks and captive finance. The market is anticipated to register a positive CAGR of 8.8% in terms of credit disbursed and 10.2% in terms of the total loan outstanding during the forecasted period 2019-2024.
Important Role of Thai Captive Finance Institutions: Working in association with dealers, captive companies used a variety of strategies to promote sales as a way of reducing large stock holdings, which following the earlier period of expanded output by manufacturers had grown too high levels. Among these strategies, they introduced ‘balloon loans’. These loans are a way of extending financing to low-income groups and are structured so that payments for each installment are low, with the outstanding balance paid off by a large lump-sum payment in the final period. In addition, installment periods were extended to 3-6 months each so that individuals who have seasonal incomes, such as many of those who work in the agricultural sector could also gain easier access to credit.
Simplification of Lending Process: With indirect lending gaining precedence over direct lending, the loan process doesn’t involve communication between the credit institution and the consumer for discussing loan terms and payments. With flexible payment options being introduced, the spotlight has shifted from affordability to convenience. Borrowers are now looking for flexibility in loan terms as well as refinancing options if the need arises. Lenders have been introducing customized products in order to cater to the needs of different consumer profiles and online lending models have simplified and improved the ease with which borrowers can compare and avail financing for their vehicle.
Investment by Japanese Automakers will act as a catalyst to Revenue Growth: Several Japanese automakers have conveyed plans for further investment within Thailand, which should help the government implement its roadmap to build a globally competitive automotive industry. The investment will be used to expand the company’s business in Thailand during the period of 2019-2023. This will further boost up the sales of various passenger car companies in Thailand thereby, creating a positive impact on the Thailand auto finance market.
