Indonesia used car market is predicted to register a CAGR of about 5.74% in 2027. As there is an increase in the number of Indonesian used car players in the future, in order to remain competitive in the market, developing a buyer persona is one of the most essential solutions. Currently, in Indonesia, persona development in the automotive industry is very limited, due to limited research and digital players in the market. There are approximately 50k auto dealers in Indonesia. However, some of them, mostly SMEs auto dealers, still have limited resources, especially to do some research about market conditions. Therefore, this research could be a reference for automotive businesses to understand customers’ motivations. The data collection used in this study is by using quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative methods will be used for buyer persona development by using an online survey questionnaire. There are three variables that will be used in developing buyer persona for used car buyers, such as biographic information, users buying triggers, and consumer behaviors. Cluster analysis will be used to analyze the result of the survey questionnaire in developing the persona. After the persona is developed, then a qualitative method will be used to map the customer journey on the certain personas by using an in-depth interview.
