1 2013 SEMA Annual Market Report
2 Introduction Three years of positive results point to a renewed growth trend for the Specialty Equipment Market. Overall, specialty equipment industry sales in 2012 climbed 4% to over $31 billion. Fueled by a rebirth of the muscle car, street performance products lead the growth of the industry. Models such as the Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger are sparking increased passion for performance products. The Camaro and Mustang were the most commonly displayed cars at the 2012 SEMA Show, indicating the industry s focus on the new muscle. But, muscle cars aren t the only ones getting the industry excited, a newcomer, the Scion FR-S, was also one of the most common 2012 SEMA Show booths vehicles. The truck market continues to rebound, both in terms of new-vehicle sales and specialty equipment sales. Sales of specialty equipment for light trucks grew 1% in 2012 to reverse a declining trend that was set off by the recent recession. New pickup truck sales are up for the third year, climbing 6.4% in With GM and Ford due to release major redesigns to their flagship pickups in the next couple models years, the truck sector looks like it should continue a slow recovery. The off-road market continues to be solid, with the Wrangler continuing as one of the most popular booth vehicles at the 2012 SEMA Show. With the Wrangler Unlimited accounting for nearly half of the Jeep vehicles in SEMA Show booths, the industry sees a lot of possibility for the four-door off-road sector. Industry optimism continues to build. The 2012 SEMA Show brought in a record attendance and the 2013 Show is shaping up to be even bigger. SEMA industry research shows that most companies are reporting sales are up over the last year and they expect growth going forward. More than 40 companies recently attended a new product development conference sponsored by SEMA. And in anticipation of further growth opportunities for members, SEMA is opening a new product development facility, the SEMA Garage Industry Innovations Center. Most economic indicators are showing positive signs, resulting in GDP growth and lower unemployment rates. Forecasters are generally predicting moderate, but increasing growth for the US economy over the next few years. While we aren t returning to the free spending days of the past decade, positive economic growth combined with the rebound in new-vehicle sales point to continued positive results for the specialty equipment market. For the first time, the includes sales estimates for a separate product category, Suspension. This gives us the opportunity to track an important industry product group which hasn t been reported as a separate category previously. In addition, the Q SEMA Market Update is integrated into the Annual Market Report to provide additional updates on economic and industry trends. Think of this report as a starting point for the information that SEMA can provide to help your business. We encourage you to take advantage of its findings as well as all of the research reports available on our website, As always, if you have any questions or require assistance with the data or information in this report, please let us know.

4 Defining the Specialty Equipment Market Defining the Specialty Equipment Market The specialty equipment market includes parts and accessories that are manufactured, sold and distributed for cars, light trucks, and other passenger vehicles (motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, boats, etc.). These products are designed to customize or enhance the performance, handling or appearance of new or used vehicles. The market does not however include direct repair or replacement parts intended to replicate factory specs (except in the case of restoration parts for older vehicles). The specialty equipment market is often described as the parts you want rather than those you need. Some examples of products that fall into the specialty equipment market include exhaust kits, suspension kits, custom wheels, stereo systems and engine modifications to increase horsepower. Throughout this report, SEMA tracks two broad types of sub-groups within the specialty equipment market: Product Segments and Market Niches. Product Segments SEMA defines three product segments to include everything in the specialty equipment market: accessory and appearance products; performance products; and wheels, tires and suspension. These segments are made up of groups of products that serve similar functions and are generally added for the purpose of comparison. Accessory and appearance products include interior trim and accessories; restyling and appearance products; specialty waxes and chemicals; graphics and decals; sunroofs; and others. This segment has a broader range and larger number of products than the other latter two segments. These products are often a non-enthusiast s initial contact with the automotive specialty equipment industry. Many consumers keep coming back and, in the process, escalate their involvement with other industry products along the way. The second product segment is performance products, which includes internal engine, drivetrain, exhaust system, fuel system and ignition components designed to improve performance through increased durability, capability or dependability. This go-fast segment has long been thought of as the heart of the specialty equipment market. The third product segment in the specialty equipment industry is wheels, tires and suspension. Wheels, tires and suspension components include specialty shocks, struts, lowering packages, lift kits, custom wheels, performance tires and performance brakes. Custom wheels have become the most visible item in this product mix, though suspension upgrades are also common for performance and off-road enthusiasts. 3
5 Defining the Specialty Equipment Market Market Niches SEMA defines eight primary and one miscellaneous market niche, each of which includes the three product segments. Each of these market niches is centered around a vehicle type, how the vehicle is used or the type of components involved in the vehicle use. The three product segments detailed in the previous section are sold and installed in each of the niches. Four major types of information are combined to determine the size of each of the eight primary specialty equipment markets: product information, vehicle information, distributor/retailer/installer information and parallel research. For some niches, market size is determined by a combination of factors. For example, defining the light-truck market and off-road market volumes involves determining the nature of the vehicle on which the products are used [truck versus SUV/CUV versus car, etc.] and examining the nature of the product and its design purpose. Such definitions also involve combining information about product volume through particular retailers and distributors as well as specific outlets or installers where the products were purchased. For example, products designed for the trail [even if used on-road] would be allocated to the off-road market. The nine niches SEMA recognizes are: Street Performance Market Compact Performance Market Light-Truck Market Restyling Market Restoration Market Off-Road Market Street Rod and Custom Market Racing Market Other 4
6 Defining the Specialty Equipment Market Market Niche Definitions Light-Truck Market The Light-Truck Market involves all products used to modify the performance, appearance, and/or handling of light trucks (pickups, vans, and sport utilities) for street use. This category excludes products designed specifically for off-road use. Off-Road Market The Off-Road Market consists of all products used to modify the appearance, performance, and/or handling of light trucks, all-terrain vehicles, and other power units specifically for off-road use. Street Performance Market The Street Performance Niche includes all products (engine, handling, appearance) used to modify light vehicles for street use that would be considered performance vehicles, such as sports cars and muscle cars. This category does not include light trucks or any passenger cars that are not typically designed for performance (i.e. compact cars). Compact Performance Market The Compact Performance Market includes all products used to modify the performance, handling and appearance of compact size cars for street use. Racing Market The Racing Market includes all products used in vehicles and power units engaged in all types of off-street, professional and amateur racing and performance competition. Restoration Market The Restoration Market consists of all products used in returning vehicles to their condition as originally manufactured. There are four primary segments to the vehicle restoration market: antiques prior to 1920s; domestic vehicles 1920 to World War II; domestic vehicles post-world War II; and foreign vehicles. Restyling Market The Restyling Market comprises all products used to modify vehicles that are not specifically included in other segments of the Specialty Equipment market. Traditionally, this category has focused more on interior and exterior accessories than performance. Street Rod and Custom Market The Street Rod and Custom Market encompasses all products used in the construction and operation of street rods and customs. Street rods are highly modified vehicles based on body types from 1920 to 1948 for street use and show. Customs are vehicles from 1949 through the late 1960s that are modified in various aspects (particularly appearance) for street use and show. 5

U.S. Census Bureau; Federal Reserve; Bureau of Economic Analysis; U.S. Energy Information Administration: National Economic Trends Data was collected from published government statistics. 6
8 Overview of Specialty Equipment Market OVERVIEW OF SPECIALTY EQUIPMENT MARKET The automotive specialty equipment market covers a wide range of product types from hard-core performance to casual appearance accessories. The common theme is that these are parts you want on your car, not parts you need. While the voluntary nature of the industry leaves it susceptible to fluctuation, such as 2008 and 2009, a core group of dedicated consumers continues to support the industry. The stabilizing economy and increased new-vehicle sales have put the specialty equipment market back into a growth trend since The following data provide insights into where sales fluctuated, where consumers sought products plus industry and economic trends to provide a picture of the health of the Specialty Equipment Market.

11 Overview of Specialty Equipment Market Distribution Channels Manufacturers report the highest volume share of sales dollars going through Specialty Product and Installation Outlets. These specialty auto parts stores often specialize in high value products for enthusiasts. While consumers say they most often shop at chain auto parts stores, these purchases are likely smaller and account for a lower total dollar volume. In addition to industry sales numbers, the SEMA Annual Market Report utilizes data from a large-scale consumer research project to better understand the broad, general market for accessories. The study surveyed 3,000 people across the U.S. who spent more than $100 modifying or accessorizing their vehicles. The entire report, SEMA Consumer Segmentation, can be downloaded from the SEMA website.

69 SEMA Market Update Q SEMA Financial Benchmarking The SEMA Financial Benchmarking Program was developed in order to provide SEMA members with key, industry-specific performance indicators to help them measure and compare their business operations with others in the industry. Data is collected each month from three different market segments: manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Program manager Hedges & Company collects this data anonymously through an online SEMA Financial Benchmarking survey. Those companies that participate receive a free copy of the SEMA Financial Benchmarking Reports. After seeing mostly positive growth in 2011 to recover from the downturn, 2012 showed more mixed results. The second half of 2012 showed a more downward trend in sales year over year. Both distributors and retailers are slowly recovering in Q1 of 2013 from the lackluster holiday season.
