Mexico Exterior Car Accessories Market Overview, 2028

The automotive industry is an important sector of the Mexican economy. Mexico is currently the 7th largest producer of vehicles in the world. Mexico is a significant market for passenger vehicles, light vehicles, trucks, buses, auto parts, and supplies manufactured in the United States. The automotive industry is one of Mexico's most important, accounting for 3.5 percent of the country's GDP, 20 percent of manufacturing GDP, and employing over one million people nationwide. The industry has experienced significant growth over the past few decades. In the early 1990s, Mexico signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which helped to spur the growth of the automotive industry by opening up trade between Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Many multinational automakers, such as General Motors, Ford, and Volkswagen, established manufacturing facilities in Mexico to take advantage of lower labour costs and proximity to the US market. Today, Mexico is home to more than 20 automotive assembly plants operated by major automakers from around the world. In addition to passenger vehicles, the industry also produces commercial vehicles, buses, and trucks. Mexico also has a well-developed supply chain for automotive components, with many parts and components being manufactured locally. Exterior car accessories are a popular way for car owners to customize and personalize their vehicles, giving them a unique look and enhancing their performance. In Mexico, car owners choose to install exterior car accessories for a variety of reasons, such as improving the appearance of their vehicle, enhancing its performance, or expressing their individual style. According to the research report, “Mexico Exterior Car Accessories Market Overview, 2028” published by Bonafide Research, the market is forecasted to reach market size over USD 4 Billion. The Mexican automotive industry is divided into two parts: passenger vehicles and heavy vehicles used in construction and agriculture. Mexico, with its well-established and integrated automotive sector, is the best prospect sector for auto parts and supplies. Audi, Baic Group, FCA Group, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Kia, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen are among the country's well-known automakers. The Mexican government has backed the automotive industry by providing tax breaks and subsidies to encourage investment and job creation. The industry also contributes significantly to Mexico's exports, with more than 80% of vehicles produced in Mexico exported to markets all over the world. In addition to that, the market in Mexico for EV and hybrid vehicles continues to develop. The Mexican government has begun to provide incentives to Mexican consumers, such as tax exemptions and emission control verifications. Heavy traffic and long driving distances, combined with a scarcity of charging stations, create opportunities for new players. Electric motors, motor drives, battery power converters, on-board chargers, auxiliary batteries, charger ports, traction battery banks, and power electronic controllers are among the market opportunities.

Government regulations restrict vehicle modifications. Some of these limitations include neon headlights, tailgate LED light bars, emergency and warning lighting, under body lights, loud sound systems, dark-tinted glass, loud exhaust systems, and metal tyres. Vehicles with consumer-made drivetrain modifications will lose their original warranty. As a result, modifications are typically performed only on older vehicles. Chrome, fibre glass, hydraulics, suspension, doors, body car, vinyl wrapping, rims, candy painting finishing, and the application of ceramic and film protectants are among the most common. Vehicle customization trends follow the European style, with lowered wheels and shaved features to improve body styling. A consumer's ability to customise a vehicle can take years due to exchange rates and income levels. Some of the most popular brands for customization are VW, Nissan, Chevrolet, and antique cars. Specialists look for sliding sunroof systems, convertible power tops and related motors, dashboard kits and custom mounted instruments, interior trim, custom shift knobs, LED lighting, and window security film with UV protection and heat reduction. According to the report, the market is segmented into various accessories including body kits (front and rear bumper kits, spoilers, lip kits, front grilles, tuning hoods, etc.), exhaust mufflers, lights, alloy wheels, chrome accessories, window films, graphic stickers and reflectors, racks, and others (crash guards, side beading, window door visors, licence plate frames, exterior covers, side mirror covers, etc.).
