Women drive the majority of car-buying decisions in the U.S. Yet the industry still isn’t built for them.

- 62% of new cars are purchased by women

- Over $200 billion spent annually on vehicles and services

- More than half of used car buyers are women

And still only 38% feel confident during the buying process.
This gap isn’t about indecision. It’s about experience.

- 77% of women bring a man to dealerships to avoid being taken advantage of

- Women spend more time researching (75 days vs. 60 for men)

- 40% walk in undecided, seeking guidance, not pressure

Women often prioritize safety, value, and financial practicality, while the buying experience doesn’t always reflect these priorities.
The result is a clear disconnect and a significant missed opportunity.

Women aren’t a niche market. They are the market.

Brands that understand this, communicate clearly, and build trust will stand out and win long-term loyalty.
