eAuction Savings Statistics

Your Go-To-Place for Trends on eAuction Categories, Strategies and Auction Formats

At Scanmarket, we have more than 20 years experience in the eAuction space, dating back to our early days of running food auctions in Scandinavia. This has provided us unparalleled data, intelligence and insight into the eAuction space. As a result of this experience (and our fabulous customer base of expert eAuction users) we have collected extensive intelligence on eAuction statistics, savings and trends. 

Each quarter, we share this intelligence with our customers highlighting trends on categories, strategies and auction formats. This information is useful for informing eAuction pipelines and identifying opportunities that otherwise might be overlooked. We invite you to use this information in your own program.
