Motor Dealership numbers in decline

New car Franchised Dealerships decline

The number of motor dealerships in the UK is dropping, as one would expect in a recession.

The number of franchised dealerships 10 years ago stood at 6,139 but has now dropped to 5,077, a 17% loss. For those that are still trading this of course isn’t all bad news because it has meant that they have increased their average sales across all franchises from 442 in 1999 to the current level of 502.

Less than 10 new cars per week per franchised dealer, that doesn’t seem a lot does it?
