CARE Research has developed a detailed statistical model that attempts to forecast the domestic passenger vehicle sales. The sales are segregated between personal use and commercial use based on the interaction with the industry and analytical acumen. Vehicle sales for commercial sales is forecasted based on the service sector GDP growth, while the vehicle sales for personal use are forecasted based on ownership cost and the target household that can afford to own a car. Other qualitative factors like macro-economic outlook, consumer confidence, willingness of vehicle financers to finance purchases, actions of OEMs like launches, aggressiveness, sales push techniques, dealer network etc have also been quantitatively built in the demand forecasting model.
