Five Automotive Marketing Trends

Five Industry Trends Impacting Automotive Marketing in 2020

Presented during 'Marketing: Automotive' at the LA Auto Show | 19 November 2019

IHS Markit's Tom Libby presented five key automotive marketing trends at MediaPost's 'Marketing: Automotive' event during the LA Auto Show on 19 November 2019. To view the full 14-minute presentation, click on the image below.

The Trends

  1. The industry has plateaued. Brands can no longer rely on industry growth to drive sales.
  2. Loyalty at all-time high for both vehicle make and model. Reaching buyers most likely to switch brands is key for growth.
  3. SUVs will have more competition joining the segment, but the segment isn't growing.
  4. Discontinued brands and vehicles create opportunity in a flat market.
  5. Luxury brand sales can come from outside traditional luxury segments.
