Knowing who they are—and what they want—can make all the difference for your booth strategy.

Who Attends the SEMA Show?

The SEMA buyer demographic is made up of professionals from across the auto industry. These include performance parts buyers, OEM representatives, vehicle builders, resellers, and even international distributors. They’re not just window shoppers—they’re looking for innovation, quality, and unique value.
