Automotive personalization continues to soar throughout the world as industry experts identify nearly 250 specialty-equipment products from the 2008 SEMA Show as winners of a SEMA Global Media Award.
The SEMA Global Media Awards Program, which marked its fifth consecutive year, is a unique program which consists of a prestigious group of international journalists serving as judges. In 2008, the program included 47 judges from 22 countries. Each judge carefully reviewed and evaluated the more than 2,000 new product entries at the SEMA Show before selecting the products that they felt would resonate and appeal most to consumers in their home countries.
“The idea of customization and personalization has been growing throughout world,” said Linda Spencer, SEMA director of international and government relations. “This is particularly true in the automotive industry. Given the innovation that comes from this market and the increasing number of products that are now available, it’s easy to understand why there would be so much interest in vehicle modification.”
Spencer noted that different products seem to resonate in different countries depending on the automotive market, demographics and lifestyle factors in those parts of the world. The Global Media Awards Program was designed to help manufacturers learn about new market opportunities and identify the products that may have mass appeal to international consumers.
"Our goal is to have media experts from around the world determine which new products are likely to succeed in their home markets,” said Spencer. “The automotive specialty-equipment market is made up of enthusiasts who are passionate about the hobby, and so it’s exciting to see how their love for cars, trucks and SUVs is impacting those throughout the world."
At the recent SEMA Show, 247 new products from 184 companies were honored, ranging from performance products to high-tech mobile electronics and body parts to off-road equipment. Following, in alphabetical order by the country and publication that participated in the program, are the exhibitors and products that they selected as winners of the 2009 SEMA Global Media Awards:
