The interior car accessories market in the United States is a significant and growing industry. The market includes a wide range of accessories, such as seat covers, floor mats, steering wheel covers, dashboard covers, sunshades, and electronic devices like GPS systems, entertainment systems, and car phone holders. Consumers purchase these accessories to personalize their vehicles, enhance comfort and convenience, and improve safety. One of the new trends in the interior car accessories market in the United States is the growing demand for smart and connected accessories. Consumers are increasingly interested in integrating their cars with smart home systems and other connected devices to create a seamless and personalized driving experience. Examples of these smart and connected accessories include GPS systems that provide real-time traffic updates, wireless charging systems for smartphones, and voice-activated assistants that enable drivers to control various functions of their car without taking their hands off the wheel. Another trend is the increasing popularity of eco-friendly and sustainable interior car accessories. Consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious and seeking products that are made from sustainable materials or have a minimal environmental impact. For example, seat covers and floor mats made from recycled materials or biodegradable materials are becoming more common.

The North American interior car accessories market is a large and diverse market that includes a wide range of products, such as electronics accessories, consoles and organizers, mats, interior covers, central locking systems, armrests, communication systems, dash kits, sunshades, interior lighting, air fresheners, interior chrome accessories, and others. Among them, the electronic accessories segment is leading the market in 2022 with more than 50% market share. Advanced infotainment systems are becoming more common in cars, offering features such as touchscreens, voice commands, and integration with smartphone apps. As a result, manufacturers are developing new dash kits and mounts to allow for easy installation of aftermarket systems. In North America, many newer cars now feature digital dashboard displays that provide real-time information on vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, and more. As a result, manufacturers are developing new dashboard covers and mats to protect these displays from scratches and damage. Wireless charging pads are becoming common in cars, allowing drivers to charge their smartphones and other devices without the need for cables.

Manufacturers are developing new charging pads that are integrated into cup holders, consoles, and other areas of the car for added convenience. In addition to that, with air quality becoming an increasing concern for many consumers, in-car air purifiers are becoming popular. These devices use advanced filtration technologies to remove pollutants, allergens, and other harmful particles from the air inside the car. Further, consumers are increasingly looking for ways to customise their vehicles, and manufacturers are responding by offering a wide range of customization options for interior car accessories, including personalised floor mats, embroidered seat covers, and custom dashboard kits.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought consumer demand to a virtual standstill, crippling the North American automotive industry in a significant manner. This dire situation has affected automakers and component manufacturers due to the imposition of temporary and unconditional lockdowns to bring control to the spread. Due to production halts and international trade restrictions, manufacturers have suffered heavy losses. However, the situation is expected to improve through controlled action, and the industry will return to normalcy after the lockdown and transportation restrictions are lifted. Throughout the projection period, North America is anticipated to increase. Luxury interiors and more safety features are often desired by consumers. The nation's safety laws and regulations have forced automakers to add life-saving features like airbags and seatbelts to their automobiles. The market in this region is more advanced than in other regions as a result of growing demand for passenger cars, on-going technological improvements, and the comparably low cost of luxury alternatives. The fact that private automobile use is so common in North America is good news for the market there because so many people rely on them for commuting. Due to strict fuel economy rules, demand is expected to soar. Growing consumer adoption of EVs and rising R&D spending by top automakers and interior manufacturers are two drivers anticipated to fuel market revenue development.

In North America, there are several government regulations that apply to interior car accessories to ensure safety, quality, and environmental protection. For instance, the FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) is a set of safety standards established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that apply to all motor vehicles, including interior car accessories. These standards cover a wide range of topics, such as seat belts, airbags, and child restraint systems, to ensure that vehicles meet minimum safety requirements. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from interior car accessories such as adhesives and sealants. The regulations specify maximum VOC content levels for various types of products to reduce harmful emissions. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is a government agency that regulates the safety of consumer products, including interior car accessories. The agency sets safety standards for products such as child car seats, infant carriers, and booster seats and conducts recalls when necessary to address safety hazards. In addition to federal regulations, individual states and local governments may have their own regulations that apply to interior car accessories. For example, some states have laws that regulate the use of cell phone mounts or restrict the types of materials used in car seat covers.

Interior car accessories are applied to a wide variety of cars in North America, ranging from compact cars to SUVs and trucks. However, the types of interior car accessories that are most popular can vary depending on the type of vehicle. For example, in smaller cars, accessories such as seat covers, steering wheel covers, and floor mats may be more popular, as these can help protect the interior and improve the car's appearance. In larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks, accessories such as cargo liners, roof racks, and trailer hitches may be more commonly used, as these can enhance the vehicle's utility and cargo capacity. Additionally, certain types of interior car accessories may be more popular among specific demographics. For example, younger drivers may be more likely to install aftermarket sound systems or neon lighting, while families with young children may be more likely to install car seat covers or sun shades to protect against spills and sun damage. According to the market, SUVs will lead the North American market in 2022 and are expected to maintain their dominance throughout the forecast period.

Based on the report, the market is segmented into two major distribution channels, including OEM and aftersales. Among them, the aftermarket for interior car accessories in North America is well-established, with a wide range of retailers and online stores offering a variety of products to consumers. Many of these retailers specialise in aftermarket parts and accessories for cars and trucks and offer a variety of options for interior car accessories. Aftermarket interior car accessories can range from simple items like floor mats and seat covers to more complex installations like custom upholstery, sound systems, and entertainment systems. Consumers can purchase these accessories from a variety of sources, including brick-and-mortar retailers, online stores, and automotive specialty shops. In addition, many manufacturers and retailers of interior car accessories offer after-sales support, including warranties, customer service, and technical support. This can help ensure that consumers are satisfied with their purchases and can receive assistance if they encounter any issues or problems with their accessories. Overall, the after-sales market for interior car accessories in North America is robust, with a variety of options available to consumers and strong support from manufacturers and retailers. This can give consumers confidence in their purchases and help them find the right accessories to enhance their driving experience. However, OEM distribution channels are projected to grow at a higher CAGR by 2023-28.
