Research Methodology
Step 1: Ecosystem Creation
Map the ecosystem and identify all demand-side and supply-side entities relevant to the Chile Auto Finance Market. This includes commercial banks, captive finance providers, NBFCs, auto dealerships, OEMs, fintech lenders, and regulatory bodies.
Based on this ecosystem, we shortlist the top 5–6 financial institutions and vehicle financiers in Chile by assessing their loan disbursement volumes, market share, digital capabilities, and consumer reach.
Sourcing is done via industry articles, market portals, government publications, and proprietary and public databases to initiate desk research and build foundational market intelligence.
Step 2: Desk Research
An exhaustive secondary research exercise is conducted by leveraging multiple data sources including IMF, Central Bank of Chile, Asociación Nacional Automotriz de Chile (ANAC), SERNAC, and company reports.
The objective is to collect and synthesize data points around auto loan disbursement trends, number of financed vehicles, regional splits, lender-wise market shares, product structure, and regulatory impact.
Detailed company-level benchmarking is conducted based on available annual reports, investor presentations, media releases, and filings with CMF (Comisión para el Mercado Financiero).
Step 3: Primary Research
In-depth interviews are conducted with C-level executives, regional heads, loan officers, dealership partners, and digital platform providers in Chile’s auto finance space.
These discussions are designed to validate market size hypotheses, understand growth drivers, assess the impact of interest rate policies, and capture consumer behavior trends.
A bottom-up approach is used to estimate market size by collecting disbursement data from individual players and aggregating to industry level.
To cross-verify company-level information, disguised interviews are also conducted under the pretext of being potential borrowers, which help uncover data on interest rates, approval processes, tenures, and bundled offerings.
Step 4: Sanity Check
A triangulation methodology is employed combining both top-down and bottom-up analysis to verify the accuracy of market size projections.
- Multiple validation layers are used through internal modeling exercises, external expert reviews, and historical trend alignment to ensure data robustness.

3. What are the Growth Drivers for the Chile Auto Finance Market?
Key growth drivers include the recovery in household incomes, increased vehicle ownership rates, and a growing preference for structured financing among both new and used car buyers.
