In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. CEOs, chief operating officers, VPs of sales and marketing, chief technology officers, heads of inventory management, and commercial directors from used car dealerships, online used car platforms, vehicle remarketing businesses, automotive auction houses, and OEM-certified pre-owned programs were examples of supply-side sources. Fleet managers, heads of commercial vehicle procurement, ride-sharing firm vehicle acquisition managers, rental car company disposition managers, and consumer finance managers from automotive lending institutions were examples of demand-side suppliers. In addition to gathering information on consumer purchasing behavior, pricing tactics, car certification programs, and finance dynamics, primary research validated market segmentation and confirmed deadlines for the expansion of digital platforms.
