The 2026 SEMA Show, taking place November 3-6 in Las Vegas, is building momentum across key categories, including collision repair and vehicle restyling. Repair, refinishing and restyling professionals will be able to compare products, equipment and technologies shaping the industry.

The SEMA Show's dedicated Restyling & Car Care Accessories and Collision Repair & Refinish sections will feature hundreds of exhibiting brands, giving shop owners, technicians and builders access to solutions designed to improve efficiency, quality and turnaround times. From advanced repair equipment to refinishing components, attendees will find a full spectrum of products designed to meet the evolving needs of modern repair and car care facilities.

The recently released SEMA Market Report estimates consumers spend approximately $9 billion annually on repair-, refinishing- and appearance-related aftermarket products.

The report underscores the strength of these categories within the broader automotive aftermarket and highlights their importance to repair, refinishing, and customization businesses.

Exterior restyling accounts for more than $6 billion in annual consumer spending, reflecting sustained consumer demand for vehicle personalization through products such as grilles, body upgrades, wraps, graphics, lighting, running boards, exterior trim and other appearance enhancements.

The Restyling & Car Care Accessories and Collision Repair & Refinish sections are anchored by long-standing industry brands, including 3M, Avery Dennison, Katzkin Automotive Leather, Pro Spot, Rust-Oleum, SATA, Snap-on, Sonax Premium Car Care and XPEL. Their participation gives attendees access to established suppliers across repair, refinishing, restyling and car care.
