Section 1: Welcome to Accelerated E-commerce

A few words about why we are here…

Most industry reports you read in 2021 will start with a story
of unexpected changes or unprecedented challenges. In the
automotive industry, change is constant. Car manufacturers need to
balance flexibility and innovation with brand consistency to stay
relevant.

We will explore the current situation in the automotive industry
and how brands can leverage online advertising effectively to serve
customers and protect their brands.

Section 2: The Road to Online Auto Sales: 2021 and Beyond

Activating online sales in the automotive industry has been
challenging. While other verticals have thrived in e-commerce, the
auto industry has lagged behind. Only 1% of auto revenue comes from
online channels compared to 20% in the fashion industry.

Voice commerce is on the rise, but the auto industry has yet to
tap into this potential. Around 10% of people in developed
countries are using smart speakers, but ordering a car through
voice commands is still uncommon.

Welcome to accelerated e-commerce

A few words about why we are here
Most industry reports you read in 2021 will start with a story of “unexpected changes” or “unprecedented challenges”.
It’s true. However, in the automotive industry, that is also very much business as usual…
Change is the only constant. Car manufacturers deal with endless recalibrations to the supply chain, regulations, and customer expectations. They need to balance flexibility and innovation with brand consistency in order to stay relevant.
We’re going to look at the current situation in the automotive industry and at how brands can leverage online advertising more effectively in order to serve their customers and protect and elevate their brands.
First of all, we’re going to look at a major industry shift: the acceleration of e-commerce and a tipping point for customer trust toward online channels.

The road to online auto sales: 2021 and beyond

It’s been a hard road to activating online sales in the automotive industry. Other verticals have embraced and thrived from e-commerce while auto has lagged far behind.
20% of all fashion revenue is now through online channels, compared to just 1% in the auto industry. And areas of e-commerce that thrive in other industries are virtually untapped in auto commerce.
Around 10% of people in developed countries are already using smart speakers and making use of voice commerce, but did anyone ever say,
“Alexa, please order me the new Audi”?
