There are several industry-specific macro factors that influence automotive product sales including gasoline pricing, consumer driving patterns, retail pricing and vehicle sales. At this year’s Aftermarket Outlook, NPD’s Director of Industry Analysis, Nathan Shipley, will reveal how sales in 2017 are measuring up to expectations, share insights into consumer attitudes that will shape the coming year, and provide his outlook on sales for 2018 and beyond. Insights and analysis will be derived from examining a wealth of economic trends, consumer research and product sales data, including the 2018 Consumer Outlook Survey. In its twelfth annual edition, these survey results will once again be unveiled for the first time exclusively to AAPEX attendees.
Attendees will learn:
- How the macro U.S. retail environment is performing relative to past years
- What macro factors will have the greatest influence on 2018 aftermarket sales
- Which changing consumer attitudes may represent opportunities for growth
- Expected 2018 automotive product sales performance
