Last year, consumer driving patterns, retail pricing, and both new and used car sales activity emerged as factors influencing automotive product sales. At this year's Aftermarket Outlook, NPD’s Executive Director of Industry Analysis, David Portalatin, will reveal how sales in 2015 measured up to expectations, share insights into consumer attitudes that will shape the coming year, and provide his outlook on sales for 2016. Insights and analysis will be derived from examining a wealth of economic trends, consumer research and product sales data, including the 2016 Consumer Outlook Survey. In its tenth annual edition, these survey results will once again be unveiled for the first time exclusively to AAPEX attendees.
Attendees will learn:
- What macro factors will have the greatest influence on 2016 sales.
- Which changing consumer attitudes may represent opportunities for growth.
- Expected 2016 automotive product sales performance.
