Research Methodology
Step 1: Ecosystem Creation
Map the ecosystem and identify all the demand-side and supply-side entities within the Spain Auto Finance Market. Based on this ecosystem, we shortlist 5–6 leading lenders and fintech companies in the country using parameters such as total loan disbursals, market reach, interest rate competitiveness, and digital presence.
Sourcing is conducted through a combination of industry reports, news articles, government publications, financial portals, and proprietary databases to gather relevant desk research material and build an understanding of the market landscape.
Step 2: Desk Research
An in-depth desk research process is carried out using secondary and proprietary data sources. This includes examining macroeconomic data, interest rate trends, vehicle ownership ratios, and auto loan penetration across regions in Spain.
We also analyze company-level financials and strategies by reviewing annual reports, investor presentations, earnings calls, press releases, and product brochures. The objective is to build a strong base of market intelligence on loan volumes, average interest rates, tenure preferences, and borrower demographics.
Step 3: Primary Research
A series of structured interviews is conducted with stakeholders including executives from banks, NBFCs, OEM captive finance arms, and digital lending platforms, as well as auto dealers and consumers. These interviews serve to validate secondary data, test hypotheses, and collect qualitative insights on trends, challenges, and innovations in auto finance.
Disguised interviews are also executed, in which our researchers engage players under the guise of prospective customers. This helps cross-check real-world operational metrics, loan processes, turnaround time, pricing models, and customer experience — and compare them against secondary findings.
The primary research also includes bottom-up estimation of loan disbursals by major players, which is then aggregated to calculate total market size.
Step 4: Sanity Check
- A top-down and bottom-up triangulation model is used to verify the accuracy of findings. Market sizing, CAGR projections, and segmentation shares are evaluated for internal consistency, while expert inputs are used to finalize assumptions and build robust financial models.
