Here are free automotive market research reports. They include analysis, automotive industry trends and projections. You get free, comprehensive coverage of the automotive industry on our website.
We freely publish market research and data on our website and have done that for years. We do that as a service to the automotive aftermarket industry; sometimes there’s a shortage of information in the industry.
You may have seen our market research for industry trade associations including SEMA and the Auto Care Association. Most recently we are part of a special task force with the Auto Care Association. This project is to measure the current size of the automotive eCommerce retail sales channel. An eCommerce report was released at the 2021 AAPEX Show and updated in the Auto Care Association Factbook 2023. The Factbook is released every June. That task force work is ongoing and forecasts eCommerce over the next decade or so.
Besides trade associations, we do market research for private equity companies to give an understanding of market share, trends, product category sales and more. This is used to make decisions on M&A (merger and acquisition) activity in the aftermarket.
We can help with automotive focus groups, brand awareness research, consumer surveys, B2B surveys, competitor analysis and more. We’re experts at primary research using a wide range of methodologies.
