“…There are several economic factors affecting the automobile industry, and they can be broadly divided into three groups. The first group incorporates the technological aspects of the products: quality, innovation and technology, performance and economy of the engine, functionality, safety, space management, design and aesthetics (Lin and Zhang, 2004;Sa-ngasoongsong and Bukkapatnam, 2011). The second group comprises promotion and sales factors, including wholesale and retail prices, customer service, advertising campaigns, and brand image (Landwehr, Labroo, and Herrmann, 2011).…”

Long-term forecasts are of key importance for the car industry due to the lengthy period of time required for the development and production processes. With this in mind, this paper proposes new multivariate models to forecast monthly car sales data using economic variables and Google online search data. An out-of-sample forecasting comparison with forecast horizons up to 2 years ahead was implemented using the monthly sales of ten car brands in Germany for the period from 2001M1 to 2014M6. Models including Google search data statistically outperformed the competing models for most of the car brands and forecast horizons. These results also hold after several robustness checks which consider nonlinear models, different out-of-sample forecasts, directional accuracy, the variability of Google data and additional car brands.

“…However, with the development of economy and the costs of automobile reduced, the price factors are no longer sensitivity factors hampering the automobile consumption in China. In addition to these macroscopic factors, many microcosmic factors affected customer behavior in the automobile market, such as aesthetics, 17 form, function, and brand, 18 can also influence automobile sales at segment levels but not so in determining changes of automobile sales at aggregate levels. This article presents the automobile sales forecasting model which applied hybridized particle swarm optimization and ant colony optimization for estimation of automobile sales (HPAE) and have both linear form and quadratic form.…”

In this article, a novel Hybrid method based on particle swarm optimization and ant colony optimization (HPA) is proposed to forecast automobile sales of China. Proposed hybrid model integrating particle swarm optimization and ant colony optimization for estimation of Chinese automobile sales (HPAE) is the first model using aforementioned metaheuristic techniques. HPA is developed for automobile sales forecasting using highway mileage, gross domestic product, automobile ownership, and consumer price index. HPAE is developed in two forms including both Linear (HPAEL) and Quadratic (HPAEQ). Then, in order to show the accuracy of the algorithm, a comparison is made with ant colony optimization and particle swarm optimization. The results show that mean absolute errors of the HPAE model are the best among them, and better-fit solutions are provided by quadratic form (HPAEQ) due to fluctuations of the influential indicators in China.
