Last month’s Market Pulse webinar speakers discussed how consumers are feeling the economic strain from higher interest rates throughout various sectors, as well as the pressure on pocketbooks due to persistent inflationary pressures. In February, we’ll zoom in on the auto industry and present an update on how it is faring given this environment.
Our panelists go in-depth on the near-term challenges with affordability and keeping costs down while optimizing data and technology resources. They then look ahead to the long-term challenges around preparing for expected–and unexpected–changes in the industry. We address key topics such as:
Affordability given current selling prices and finance rates, market volatility, and a rise in delinquencies
What the digital transformation looks like in the retail space, including fraud and efficiencies
How inventory relates to vehicle prices
