Dataium ASI(TM) Research Shows Strong Gains for the Auto Industry
Auto Buyers Return to Market, Continue to Out-Perform Broader Economy
(firmenpresse) - NASHVILLE, TN -- (Marketwire) -- 10/19/11 -- The Dataium ASI index, a leading predictive indicator of automotive sales, showed the largest month over month gain in the past four months, indicating that 2011 vehicle sales are on track to post around a 10% increase in sales volume over last year. Although average lead and visitor counts on automotive websites were down in September, conversion rate (leads per unique visitor), a key metric in determining future sales, was up 10% from August for all automotive brands.
"It is encouraging to see the Automotive Sales Index (ASI) up again this month with a stronger trend line," stated Eric Brown, CEO of Dataium. He added, "We anticipate continued sales growth despite some weakening components of the ASI index. Also within the index, the increases in search volume indicate a positive lead volume moving forward." In terms of lead volume, luxury brands, Infiniti and Land Rover, led all makes, increasing 34% and 29% respectively over the previous month. Jeep posted the highest gains (10%) of the domestic brands (GM, Ford and Chrysler), with Chrysler following close behind, gaining 9%. Still recovering from post-quake inventory shortages, two of the Japanese brands, Toyota and Honda were down -33% and -17% respectively.
The highest auto shopper lead conversion rate of the domestic brands went to the Ford F-150 truck, up 18% from the previous month. In comparison, imports from Korea and Japan blew away the competition with the Hyundai Genesis posting 54% gains, and the Nissan Versa up 46%.
