Quick Questions With Kathy: Trend Alert: Auto Warranty Demand Is Up
Since the on-set of the global pandemic, and reluctance to use public transportation, there has been increased demand for both new and used cars. However, pandemic-related factory shutdowns and the global chip shortage has caused a major inventory delay for new cars. In response, used car sales are up, contributing to a rise in auto warranty demand. Additionally, used car prices in many areas are hitting new highs. Older model vehicles and higher price tags could encourage more consumers to seek auto warranties that protect their investment.

Liner describes the surge in demand many marketers are experiencing related to new cars, used cars and extended after-market auto warranty.
