The 2015 SEMA Show includes more than 2 million sq. ft. of exhibits, features and attractions throughout the Las Vegas Convention Center complex. While your GPS may not help get you from point A to point B at the SEMA Show, there are lots of other tools available to help Showgoers navigate the Show floor:
Tool: SEMA Show Mobile App
Best for: On-site navigation
The 2015 SEMA Show mobile app offers turn-by-turn walking directions from one location to another, making it quick and easy to find an exhibitor’s booth. The app will be available free through iTunes and Android app stores later this month. It will also have features, such as exhibitor lists, seminar schedules, new products and more.
Tool: 2015 SEMA Show Directory
Best for: Pre- and post-Show reference
Found in the November issue of SEMA News, which is mailed in October, the 2015 SEMA Show Directory includes a list of exhibiting companies, their booth numbers and their product categories. Use the directory before arriving at the Show to identify exhibitors you want to meet with, and keep it as a reference after the Show in case you ever need to look someone up. Additionally, the directory includes a printed map, preview of new products, events, attractions and participants from the SEMA Battle of the Builders competition.
Tool: SEMA Show Pocket Guide
Best for: On-site reference
The SEMA Show Pocket Guide is small in size and easy to carry. It contains a list of exhibitors in alphabetical order by Show section, information on hotel shuttles, Show services, attractions, AAPEX exhibitors, special features and more. Available at information booths throughout the convention center, the SEMA Show Pocket Guide is a great reference onsite for quickly looking up a booth number, special event location, shuttle schedule and more.
Tool: Printed map
Best for: On-site navigation
Used in conjunction with the mobile app, the printed map is a 23x20.5-in. resource that helps you determine where you are in relation to everything else at the SEMA Show. On the back of the printed map is a detailed floorplan, which will have aisles and booths labeled by booth number to assist in giving you a better idea of how the halls are organized. Printed maps are contained inside the 2015 SEMA Show Directory, the SEMA Show Pocket Guide, the SEMA Show Daily, in the Media Center and at information kiosks throughout the convention center.
Tool: Online floorplan
Best for: Pre-Show planning
The online floorplan will give you more detailed information than the map and will be useful to look at prior to arriving at the Show. Because it is online, there are interactive tools that you can click on to make searching quick and easy. View the floorplan online.
The 2015 SEMA Show is taking place November 3–6, in Las Vegas. For more information or to register to attend, visit www.semashow.com.

During the past several years, gas prices have frequently hit record levels, and automakers have developed more alternative, fuel-saving technologies and have produced more fuel-friendly vehicles to meet the demand of consumers and the market. These factors have helped the compact-performance segment to sustain slow and steady growth year to year. The market reached more than $5.18 billion in retails sales in 2014 and continues to offer expanding opportunity for specialty-equipment companies.
The compact-performance niche encompasses modifications made to compact-size cars for street use. While current retail sales levels are far from the numbers posted in the early 2000s, the fact that the market has remained steady and not shown any sharp decline for the past 10 years is a positive for compact-performance businesses and enthusiasts.
The compact niche is mainly driven by sales of appearance and accessory products, which represent the No. 1 product segment in terms of manufacturer sales. Since the scene’s emergence in the mid-’90s, compact-performance enthusiasts covet vibrant appearance and styling products. However, enthusiasts in this segment want to add power to their vehicles as well, and performance products is the second-leading product segment (manufacturer sales). The third most popular product segment in the compact performance market is the wheels, tires and suspension products category.
Some of the top-selling vehicles within the segment are the Toyota Corolla/Matrix, Honda Civic, Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Elantra and Ford Focus.
This information and more is available through the recently released 2015 SEMA Market Report. The report is available to download at no cost to SEMA members. In addition to the compact-performance market, the report provides detailed insight on the street-performance, light-truck, off-road, restyling, restoration, street rod and custom, racing niches.
Most of SEMA's research reports are available to SEMA members at no cost, and to nonmembers at a nominal fee. They can be accessed at www.SEMA.org/research.
