Network Report reveals retailer return on sales

  19 April 2023

New return on sales data revealed in the latest Auto Retail Networks Report 2023, previously called the Franchising Report, has shown a 2022 average of 2.0% down from 2021’s record of 2.3%.

The figures illustrate each OEM’s rolling average and its ups and downs – and show returns are still strong, particularly amongst German brands.

The report also contains invaluable data on how return on sales has changed over a 10-year period, and gives an average figure for each OEM over the past decade.
