TRUCK AND OFF-ROAD BRANDS DRIVE INNOVATION AT THE 2026 SEMA SHOW

-- Hundreds of exhibitors will unveil new products and technologies to qualified buyers, media, and industry professionals from around the world. --

DIAMOND BAR, Calif. (Oct. 5, 2026) - Demand for truck and off-road products continues to drive growth across the automotive aftermarket, and the 2026 SEMA Show will bring the industry's leading manufacturers, innovators, and buyers together to showcase the latest advancements in capability, performance, and customization.

With hundreds of exhibiting brands and a growing footprint dedicated to trucks, off-road, and adventure-driven products, the Show offers an unmatched opportunity to discover new parts, technologies, and business opportunities shaping one of the aftermarket's largest and most influential segments.

Located in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, the SEMA Show's dedicated Trucks, SUVs & Off-Road section is a must-visit destination for professionals seeking the latest innovations for pickups and work vehicles. From rugged off-road upgrades to fully equipped overlanding systems, attendees will experience a comprehensive range of products engineered for durability, capability, and customization. The section will be adjacent to the expanded Powersports, SxS & Lifestyle section, showcasing brands across the adventure lifestyle category.

The strength of the segment is reflected in the recently released SEMA Market Report, which found that pickup trucks are the largest vehicle segment in the automotive aftermarket, generating $15.0 billion and accounting for 30% of all specialty-equipment spending, making trucks the single biggest driver of aftermarket demand.

Among the largest truck and off-road product categories identified in the report are suspension products ($3.15 billion) and off-road/oversize tires ($2.23 billion). Located in South Hall Lower, these categories continue to fuel demand for lift kits, leveling systems, shocks, tires, and related products that enhance vehicle capability both on- and off-road

The SEMA Market Report also highlights the growing influence of the lifestyle movement. Products such as racks, cargo-management systems, roof-mounted carriers, and roof-top tent platforms represent an expanding segment of the market as consumers increasingly outfit vehicles for outdoor recreation, travel, and adventure.

The Trucks, SUVs & Off-Road section is anchored by brands that have helped define the category and have exhibited at the SEMA Show for many years, includingARB 4X4 Accessories, FOX, Lippert Automotive, RealTruck, Westin, and Yakima. These industry leaders return year after year, introducing new products while reinforcing the Show's reputation as the epicenter for truck innovation.

"The truck and off-road segment is a cornerstone of the SEMA Show and one of the most dynamic areas of growth in the aftermarket," said SEMA Vice President of Events Tom Gattuso. "From hardcore off-road performance to fully outfitted overlanding builds, this section showcases how brands are pushing the limits of what trucks can do. The continued presence of legacy manufacturers alongside new innovators highlights both the heritage and the future of this market."

Overall, exhibitor commitments for the 2026 SEMA Show have surpassed 1 million net square feet of indoor exhibit space, with more than 2,000 brands preparing to connect with a global audience Nov. 3-6 in Las Vegas. The Show continues to rank among the largest and most influential trade events in the country, reflecting sustained growth across the automotive aftermarket.

In addition to the Trucks, SUVs & Off-Road section, the 2026 SEMA Show will feature strong representation across performance, powersports, mobile electronics, restyling, tools, and emerging technologies. Major OEMs, including Toyota, Ford, Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Stellantis, will also return, further strengthening the connection between factory engineering and aftermarket innovation.

Attendees can also explore signature features such as the New Products Showcase, Battle of the Builders, ADAS Showcase, and FutureTech Studio, all of which provide insight into the trends, craftsmanship, and technologies shaping the next generation of vehicles, including those built for off-road and overland adventures.

The 2026 SEMA Show will take place Nov. 3-6 in Las Vegas, anchoring a broader "SEMA Week" experience that culminates with public access on Friday and the high-energy SEMA Fest.
