Now with more than 50 available product groups and the most comprehensive panel of data providers in the aftermarket, including commercial and retail sales data, the Demand Index is proving to be a critical asset for businesses during line reviews. “The Auto Care Demand Index provides us with directional insights and a look into the health of our part categories while allowing complete anonymity and confidentiality of all members,” said one Demand Index user from a large automotive electrical parts manufacturer.Demand Index users can instantly compare their product performance data with the tool’s “Economic and Industry Indicators” feature and can identify changes in driving behavior using the newly-added Arity Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) data provided eight weeks faster than the U.S. Department of Transportation’s VMT data. Beginning Feb. 15, 2021, Arity Vehicle Miles Traveled data will be accessible on a weekly basis to all Auto Care Association members at no charge during the “Market View” 60-day trial period.
The turbulence of 2020 created uncertainty for everyone—including aftermarket businesses. The Auto Care Association’s Demand Index minimizes uncertainty and maximizes clarity for businesses by equipping them with the data they need to make informed decisions with confidence.
