Auto Retail Live: Outlook for 2025

2024 has been a tough year with supply outstripping demand, electric vehicle targets pushing the market and sluggish economy putting ever more pressure on consumer wallets. As well as these ongoing factors, in 2025 retailers will also have to deal with a leap in employment costs. However, as an industry we never fail to learn and adapt, so what does 2025 have in store and what can be put in place to maximise profitability. Auto Retail Live’s Outlook for 2025 webinar on 10 December will examine these topics and reveal the results of the latest Auto Retail Barometer survey which tracks business sentiment in the industry. Our panel of experts will get into the detail of new car supply, the impact of the ZEV Mandate, consumer confidence and employment costs plus look at the best metrics businesses should be using to make sure they’re on the right track for a profitable 2025. In our final Auto Retail Live of this year we’ll have John O’Hanlon from Waylands, Graeme Potts from Eden Motor Group and Philipp Sayler von Amend from Carwow available online to discuss these topics, answer your questions and help you get ready for next year. Topics and questions for discussion include: Market overview Industry themes for 2025 Tackling rising employment costs Consumer behaviour in 2025 Likely vehicle supply scenarios under ZEV Impact of rising EV mix on the retailer
