Car financing refers to a range of financial options which empower consumers to buy a new/used car. The COVID-19 pandemic is creating new revenue streams attributed to the expansion of digital channels for B2C (Business to consumer) exchanges during the lockdown. Also, heavy investments in autonomous vehicles with the instantaneous support of banks and financing institutes are a contributing factor in the growth of the market.

However, the pandemic has also caused a slowdown in the automobile industry with a decrease in car sales and adjustment of production capacities.

These factors may restrain the growth of the market.
