Market Overview

An auto loan is a loan that allows the consumer to buy a desired four-wheeler, and pay the vehicle off in equated monthly instalments for a set tenure instead of having to pay the full price upfront. The terms of an auto loan depend on various factors, including income and credit history. In Japan, the amount of outstanding loans has been steadily increasing over time, indicating a rise in the number of loan policies taken out, including auto loans. Due to the greater market share held by medium-sized cars and minivans in the nation's passenger vehicle segment, lending companies have chosen to concentrate on specific segments of the auto loan market. The country's lower current loan interest rates have caused lenders to concentrate primarily on the growing cost of cars, which has led to consumers choosing auto loans as a means of financing their vehicles and boosting the business of auto lenders. Manufacturers of automobiles are establishing their own finance companies to streamline the purchasing process for consumers.
