Last year several factors emerged that influenced automotive product sales including gasoline pricing, consumer driving patterns, retail pricing and vehicle sales. At this years’ Aftermarket Outlook, NPD’s Director of Industry Analysis, Nathan Shipley, will reveal how sales in 2016 measured up to expectations, share insights into consumer attitudes that will shape the coming year, and provide his outlook on sales for 2017. Insights and analysis will be derived from examining a wealth of economic trends, consumer research and product sales data, including the 2017 Consumer Outlook Survey. In its eleventh 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 2017 sales.
- Which changing consumer attitudes may represent opportunities for growth.
- Expected 2017 automotive product sales performance.
*This session is also scheduled for Tuesday, November 1 at 7:30 am.
