Bedliner Industry Profile – A $200+ Million Market

According to a recent Frost & Sullivan Report, truck bedliners alone represent an approximately $200 million industry and is expected to grow to $215+ M by 2014.  (Source: Frost & Sullivan Market Engineering Analysis September, 2008). 

Although sales of new pick-up trucks have been declining in the last year (18% in 2008), it is important to note that enthusiasts -- the subset of consumers who tend to continue personalizing their vehicles despite economic downturns are purchasing used pick-ups or keeping the ones they have a bit longer. In fact, the latest SEMA Automotive Lifestyles Survey of Enthusiasts showed that 64% of pick-up owners purchased their vehicles used. More than a third (36%) of these enthusiasts said they purchased a bedliner in the past year.  Despite tightening consumer spending in 2008, automotive enthusiasts who drive pick-ups said that they spent $2,600 each, on average over the past 12 months on custom parts and accessories.  (Source: SEMA eNews January 29, 2009).
