U.S. Auto Loan Market Size and Household Spending Report 2022
Today, doxoINSIGHTS released two new reports, revealing that Americans as a whole spend $743 billion annually on Auto Loans and Auto Insurance combined. The Auto Loans report breaks down the $493 billion market for auto loans in the U.S. It also ranks all 50 states, the US’s 50 largest cities, and hundreds of towns and cities in terms of average monthly expenses.
These reports come an opportune time. Interest rates on auto loans are at a near-peak high over the last eight years, with supply chain issues and limited inventory pushing both new and used car prices up. Simultaneously, inflation is impacting not only auto purchasers, but insurers who are passing the more expensive cost of vehicle repair and replacement on to consumers. doxoINSIGHTS’ price rankings show consumers how much they can expect to pay for cars compared to their neighbors.
