In addition to the regular global forecasting services offered by J.D. Power Automotive Forecasting, the company also undertakes a wide variety of consultancy assignments for either groups of customers (Syndicated Studies) or for individual companies (Proprietary Studies).

Proprietary Studies
J.D. Power Automotive Forecasting undertakes single client proprietary consultancy assignments tailored to meet the specific needs of individual clients. These can cover any aspect of the automotive industry.

Syndicated Studies
Studies in this area are conducted on specific topics of interest to a wide range of customers. This approach enables clients to obtain, at a fraction of the overall costs of the study, the results of ambitious research projects. They are either undertaken directly under the J.D. Power Automotive Forecasting banner or, on occasion, in association with other institutions where there is a requirement for inputs that cannot exclusively be provided by J.D. Power Automotive Forecasting's research team.

Completed syndicated studies have covered a wide variety of issues related to the automotive industry, including transmissions, diesel evolution, aluminium and magnesium usage, hybrid vehicles, AWD and airbags.
