The automotive industry will gather at the Las Vegas Convention Center this November for the 2026 SEMA Show, which features a dedicated section for pickup trucks and off-road vehicles. Residents and visitors should expect increased activity near the West Hall during the four-day event.
Why it matters
Pickup trucks represent the largest segment of the automotive aftermarket industry, making this gathering a significant bellwether for the sector. As these vehicles continue to drive a high volume of specialty-equipment spending, the exhibition serves as the primary hub for manufacturers to debut new parts and technology.
Pickup trucks currently generate $15 billion in annual aftermarket spending, accounting for 30% of total specialty-equipment market volume. Annual sales for suspension products reach $3.15 billion, while off-road and oversize tires contribute another $2.23 billion.
