If you are attending this week's Australian Automotive Dealer Association (AADA) Convention and Expo, don't miss our Managing Director, Gavin Cox's workshop. THE MARKET HAS CHANGED. HAVE YOU? The automotive market has changed considerably since the end of COVID. Stock has returned but leads have dropped off and gross profit decreased. Sales teams have become complacent and competition between dealerships and brands is fiercer than ever. The solution to every dealership’s issues is to sell more cars and drive greater profit, but what tactics should you be employing in the current climate to make that happen? This workshop goes through the simple adjustments that can be made to your existing marketing strategies and technology platforms to ensure you are driving maximum enquiry into your business and getting the most out of every opportunity that comes your way. We hope to see you there! #adtorqueedge #automotivemarketing #aada24 #technologysolutions #digitaladvertising #automotiveindustry #websites #leadmanagement #workshop #cardealers #cardealerships

The last treasure of the automotive industry... Today, Automechanika Frankfurt – the world's largest trade fair for the automotive aftermarket – is opening its doors and I am looking forward to many new insights on this highly important market segment. While the whole auto industry is under massive pressure, the aftermarket continues to offer very healthy margins and a stable stream of revenues in turbulent times. Therefore, it is no surprise that many market participants (OEMs as well as suppliers and independent aftermarket players) are doubling down on this important business segment. Unlike the new car business that is gradually moving from combustion engines to EVs, the aftermarket for the existing car park will continue to be skewed towards conventional cars for decades to come - offering profit potential for the established carmakers and suppliers. The comprehensive service network coverage of established OEMs is also a key instrument to fend off Chinese car manufacturers in Europe who are still weak on this important element of the value chain. Nonetheless, there are also numerous challenges for the aftermarket: the low new car sales of the past few years as well as the increasing electrification have a negative impact on the business potential while lack of skilled workshop technicians represents a massive growth barrier for many players. Supply chain disruptions and cost inflation have the same negative effects on the business that they have for the overall industry. Irrespective of these challenges, the aftermarket continues to be the last treasure of the automotive industry – preserving and growing the market position will be a strategic imperative for future success in the industry. We at Oliver Wyman are proud to help many of our clients on this journey.

When the organiser of tyre industry trade fair The Tire Cologne published the exhibitor list for this June’s event last week, we noted several high-profile absences. It appears we were too quick to the draw, as the exhibitor list has grown since first going public. While the list contained the names of 245 exhibitors on the day it was first went online, it grew to 273 exhibitors the next day, and as of Monday morning (25 March) stands at 288 exhibitor names. Members of The Tire Cologne team at organiser Koelnmesse told our sister publication Reifenpresse.de they’re working on the assumption that 300 exhibiting companies will have signed up by the time the tyre industry trade show starts on 4 June. One of the names joining the list in the past couple of days belongs to a company we’d already marked off as absent. The Michelin Group will exhibit at The Tire Cologne via its Euromaster distribution network. Announcing the upcoming engagement, Euromaster says it looks forward to presenting the European workshop chain’s “extensive and flexible” franchise concept in face-to-face meetings. Tyrepress.com recently reported that the Michelin Group, alongside Bridgestone and Goodyear, would not have an exhibition presence at the Cologne, Germany-based tyre industry show. https://lnkd.in/emuscKPK
