For four decades SEMA, the Specialty Equipment Market Association, has been at the forefront of the automotive aftermarket – a unique industry dedicated to the enhanced performance, appearance and handling of all types of passenger cars, light trucks and recreational vehicles.  Now more than 6,466 companies strong, SEMA has evolved into an international automotive aftermarket trade association, which today serves and embraces a diverse constituency representing the full spectrum of the specialty automotive equipment industry & aftermarket.

From aftermarket performance products for street and race applications to aftermarket appearance accessories for late-model automobiles, SEMA-member companies contribute to the vitality and strength of a $31 billion-a-year retail industry. Cosmetic accessories and handling equipment for the booming sport compact market, along with parts and accessories for muscle cars, classics, street rods and light trucks are all part of this industry. It's not hard to see why our industry's contribution is felt throughout the automotive marketplace, as well as by the legislative and regulatory bodies that govern it.
