First quarter statistics have always been an interesting indication of the year to come and what to expect.

eAuction statistics report for the first quarter of 2020

Historically, Q1 has always generated higher savings compared to Q4 of the previous year. And 2020 is no different. The average savings compared to current price have jumped from 7.76% in Q4 2019 to an impressive 14.17% in Q1 2020. This is the highest level of savings percentage observed in Q1 for many years, outperforming savings in Q1 2019 by 3.57 percentage points.

Highlights from Q1 include:

  • Services was the most eAuctioned category in Q1 with an average saving of 13.25% paired with a high level of event consistency throughout the period. It has been many years since we last saw Services being the most eAuctioned category in a quarter.
  • The activity level in Iron and Metals is comparable to Q1 2019 however, this year, registering a significant spike in the savings of almost 15 percentage points.
  • Many categories outside of the top 10 list showed significant and at times, ‘blockbuster’ levels of savings from 20-30% on an average with MRO and Marketing Materials etc. leading the way!
