As GDP grows citizens have more disposable income to spend in leisure activities as well as in holidays. Moreover as “ecotourism” and other alternative forms of tourism within Europe are gaining popularity, the population is practicing a wider range of leisure activities including outdoor sports. Thanks to this, demand for Car Racks Systems has been growing steadily and during 2005 increased by a 2.4% in quantity, to reach 5.3 million units sold for all categories.

The value of the car racks systems market in 2005 reached 257 million euros in turnover, which represents a 4,5% increase from the previous year, and is forecasted to continue with an upward trend. The value of the market has increased twice more than the quantity of units sold as prices for these systems continue going up. Price indexes for car accessories, including car racks, have been rising moderately and will continue doing so. This is in part due to the fever of car tuning and as well as for outdoor sports that has expanded through Europe in the last few years.
