Webinar Overview:

US automotive sales experienced record numbers from 2008-2016, but the industry is seeing a steady decline in 2017 for the first time in eight years. And there is reason to believe that sales will continue to drop in 2018.

During the last two years, the automotive industry has exhausted every opportunity available to bring in new consumers. These have mostly centered around increasing auto-loan length and extending credit to riskier buyers, which has resulted in an increase in auto loan delinquency rates.

Despite a growing economy, the automotive industry is still in danger. Employment has never been an indicator of industry growth. Andrew Duguay, Senior Economist at Prevedere, shares his forecast for the industry and how automotive executives should refine their strategy for 2018.

He also offers advice to auto-makers about pinpointing consumers with disposable income and identifying areas and opportunities to move these customers to a new price point.
