WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — DealerRater, a leading car dealer review and reputation management platform and company of Cars.com Inc. (NYSE: CARS), today announced the winners of its annual Dealer of the Year Awards (DOTY). Award winners are recognized for their outstanding dealership experiences according to the more than one million reviews posted by car shoppers on DealerRater in 2020. See the full list of winners U.S. and Canada.

«Delivering a customer experience that meets shifting shopper expectations — especially in today’s stay-at-home economy — is critical to a dealership’s success. And we saw overwhelmingly positive consumer reviews on our platform over the past year as dealers transformed into digital-first car sellers,» said Jamie Oldershaw, general manager of DealerRater. «Our Dealer of the Year Award winners represent local dealers across North America who strived for excellence in 2020 and leveraged their superior customer experience in the form of reviews as a differentiator to get ahead of the competition.»

Top-Reviewed Dealers Prioritized Digital-First Services and Covid-19 Safety Protocols

Features such as online and video chat, at-home delivery and virtual walkarounds were significant drivers of positive reviews. Forty-eight percent of winning dealers were badged on Cars.com and DealerRater.com for Home Delivery and Virtual Appointment.¹

The Dealer of the Year Awards indicate the value car shoppers place on dealers’ adaptability to pandemic realities. Dealers who implemented Covid-19 health and safety protocols, such as masks, social distancing, and sanitization, received more positive reviews at a rate of nearly 30 to 1.²

Strong Dealer Engagement and Review Response Rate Critical for Success

The digital engagement of employees at dealerships proved especially critical this past year as car shoppers conducted the bulk of their research and vehicle purchase online. A shared habit of recognized dealers is review response rate, with 80% of award-winning dealers responding to customers at double the average response rate.¹ Dealers that go above and beyond traditionally respond within 24 hours.

Additionally, about 75% of winners provide their staff with Employee Profile Pages on DealerRater, which allows car shoppers to ask questions and connect with individual salespeople at a dealership before ever stepping on the lot.¹

DealerRater Dealer of the Year and Consumer Satisfaction Award Methodology

The DealerRater Dealer of the Year Awards are presented annually to the top U.S. and Canadian car dealers with 25 or more reviews based on categories such as customer service, quality of work, friendliness, pricing and overall experience, key drivers of repeat and referral business. The scoring algorithm considers the dealership’s average DealerRater star rating as well as the total number of reviews written about the dealership during the 2020 calendar year.

Consumer Satisfaction Awards are given to the top 10% of U.S. new-car dealers as well as independent and Canadian dealerships that earn at least 25 reviews and maintain a minimum average review rating of 4.0 out of 5.0 during the 2020 calendar year.

DUBLIN, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Automotive Conformal Coatings Market by Material (Acrylic, Silicone, Epoxy, Polyurethane, Parylene), Component (ECU, PCB, Sensor, Battery Casing, LED and Infotainment System), Application Method, Vehicle Type, EV, Region – Global 2025» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The global automotive conformal coatings market is projected to reach USD 2.7 billion by 2025 from USD 1.8 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 8.7%.

The growth of this market is primarily driven by the increasing automotive electronics in vehicles and various technological advancements in the application method of conformal coating.

With progression in time, the COVID-19 impact has severely disrupted the supply chain for the entire automotive ecosystem. This has halted production facilities across the globe resulting in a disruption in the exports of automotive components. This scenario is expected to affect the automotive conformal coatings market, as the growth of the market is directly related to the production of the vehicles. The global production of vehicles pre-COVID-19 was expected to reach from ~90-95 million units in 2020 to ~110-115 million units by 2025. According to OICA, though global vehicle production declined by 5.2% between 2018-2019, the production outlook was supposed to showcase significant growth from 2021-2022 owing to multiple steps taken by OEMs, as well as some governments, to attract customers.

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) is the fastest-growing market, by EV type.

Stringent emission norms across the globe have led to an increased focus by governments on promoting and investing in BEVs. This is expected to create a favorable environment for BEV sales and drive its demand. Electric vehicles have a higher installation of electronics than traditional vehicles, and the increasing sales of BEVs are expected to fuel the demand for conformal coatings to protect these vital components. These factors are expected to drive the market growth for the BEV segment in near future.

The Asia Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing market for the automotive conformal coatings market.

The regional growth can be attributed to the higher production of vehicles in countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea. Governments across the Asia Pacific region have formulated stringent safety and emission norms that are expected to increase the installation of automotive electronics. Moreover, modern features, such as power windows, automatic rain wiper, rear parking sensors, and LED DRL, are penetrating in entry to mid-level cars due to consumer demand. These features will require more electronic installations, which, in turn, is expected to drive the automotive conformal coatings market.
