Abstract

Nachdem Abo-Modelle in den letzten Jahren bereits die Software- und Unterhaltungsbranche transformiert haben, arbeiten aktuell auch immer mehr Autohersteller wie auch Drittanbieter an solchen Modellen. Dabei zahlt der Kunde einen festen monatlichen Betrag, der neben dem Auto selbst auch Steuer, Versicherung, Wartung und Nebenkosten abdeckt. Auf Wunsch kann teils monatlich gekündigt oder das Fahrzeug gewechselt werden. Da zu solchen Services noch keine wissenschaftlichen Publikationen existieren, hat sich diese Arbeit zum Ziel gesetzt, die Wahrnehmung der Kunden sowie das mögliche Marktpotenzial für Abo-Modelle empirisch zu ermitteln. Hierzu wurden aus wissenschaftlichen Studien zu Transaktionsmodellen ohne Eigentumstransfer zunächst die Vor- und Nachteile von Abo-Modellen für Privatkunden hergeleitet. Aus diesen Grundlagen wurden anschließend Hypothesen abgeleitet, die mittels einer Primäranalyse überprüft wurden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass großes Marktpotenzial für Auto-Abos vorhanden ist und sich schon heute über ein Drittel der Befragten anstatt eines Kaufs für ein Abo-Modell entscheiden würden. Insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund einer noch sehr geringen Bekanntheit solcher Modelle zeigt die schnelle Bereitschaft zur Abo-Nutzung ein hohes Marktpotenzial, insbesondere als Alternative zum Leasing. Die wichtigsten Vorteile von Abos liegen dabei in der Übernahme von Wartung und Reparatur durch den Anbieter sowie der kurzfristigen Kündigungsmöglichkeit. Der entscheidendste Grund für die Präferenz eines Kaufs ist die Wichtigkeit von Eigentum, die sich allerdings nicht klar einer bestimmten demografischen Gruppe zuordnen lässt. Auto-Abos sind dabei für Befragte mit niedrigem und hohem Interesse an Autos gleichermaßen attraktiv, allerdings aus unterschiedlichen Gründen. Basierend auf diesen Forschungsergebnissen wurden konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen formuliert, die eine Markteinführung von Auto-Abos erleichtern sollen.
