A car phone holder is a specialized device designed to securely hold a smartphone inside a vehicle, allowing for easy access to the screen while driving. Its primary function is to ensure that the phone is safely positioned within the driver's field of vision without blocking their view, enabling them to use navigation apps, make hands-free calls, or engage in other essential functions without needing to handle the device physically. By encouraging safer driving practices and reducing distractions, car phone holders play a vital role in improving road safety.
The primary types of car phone holder include magnetic and cradle/spring. Magnetic variants employ magnets to firmly hold smartphones in place within vehicles, boasting a range of mounting alternatives such as sticky pads, car air vent clips, and suction pads. These holders come in various classifications, including those equipped with wireless charging functionality alongside standard models. Distribution channels encompass both traditional brick-and-mortar retail outlets and online platforms.

The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs on imported plastics, metals, and electronic components used in car phone holders have increased production and retail costs, particularly impacting regions dependent on Asian manufacturing hubs. Mounting types such as magnetic and wireless charging holders are more affected due to their reliance on electronic assemblies. However, tariffs have encouraged localized manufacturing, diversification of material sourcing, and innovation in cost effective designs, resulting in moderate positive impacts for domestic producers.
