Research and Markets The Flourishing Automotive Specialty Industry With a Market Size of $31 Billion in the US Is an Attractive Investment

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c20371) has announced the addition of U.S. Automotive Specialty Equipment Market (2010): Regaling to Dark Ages to their offering.

The flourishing automotive specialty industry, with a market size of $31 billion in the US, is an attractive investment for many automakers and independent dealers. Out of nearly 6,000 US specialty-parts firms, a handful of automakers have shown their business interest by entering into collaboration with some of them. This has gradually pushed the automotive appearance products into the mainstream market.

Though the industry bears a promising potential, yet it was observed that the growth recorded in the financial year 2002-2003 was badly shaken in the following financial year 2003-2004 and 2004-2005. This negative effect was on account of the high cost of vehicles, inadequate propaganda, a large number of alternative products flooding the market, and security concerns hovering over the Americans. The financial year 2004-05 saw only a growth of 7.7 percent in a market of $28.9 billion. Out of this, the major contribution was of appearance accessories (25 percent), followed by equipment for racing and sporting accessories (17.6 percent), and handling equipment products and services (3.5 percent).
