What percentage of your consumers and shoppers are female?

Renault – OMD – Publicis Conseil
In the studies that we have available to us and that are based on the main driver of the car (i.e. the registered keeper of the vehicle), 1/3 of new car buyers are women. In the small car segments (Twingo, Clio, etc.), this reaches 50%.
But these studies tend to underestimate the weight of women as secondary drivers (i.e. not the registered keeper of the vehicle), such as mothers, for example.

European survey: Women are in the driving seat!


These days, women are in the driving seat: they use their cars just as much as men do, they like to choose the model by themselves and they know exactly what they want. And it’s not a fantasy! In fact, 4,460 women took part in the car survey throughout July. So, women at the wheel… is their determination taking a turn in a new direction?

“I DON’T NEED ANYBODY”

It’s a fact, women are revved up about cars nowadays. The proof: 41% of European women now buy their cars on their own. Women have become as privileged as men when it comes to being targeted in advertisements or information campaigns.
