Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the number of brand dealer establishments in Germany has decreased from around 14,500 in 2010 to 10,000 in 2025, a decline of about 31 percent. According to a study by the Institute for Automotive Economics, another 15 percent could disappear by 2035. While BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and VW have reduced their sales networks, BYD is expanding its presence: the Chinese manufacturer is now represented at around 150 locations in Germany, compared to nearly 30 the previous year. At the same time, large German dealer groups are earning less despite increasing sales figures and revenues, Boeminghaus wrote. He cited SWR Aktuell, the IfA, and the DAT as sources. https://t.co/ovtQSGTg51 #Autohandel #Deutschland #Automobilindustrie (translated)
