407 Car Mounts Analysed: 2026 Price and Type Data
A breakdown of a live 407-SKU car mount catalogue — category split, price bands and feature prevalence — with the full dataset available to download and cite.
Most commentary about the phone accessory market is anecdotal. This page is not: it is a straight analysis of 407 individual SKUs in a live factory-direct car mount catalogue, counted in September 2026. We are publishing the numbers — including the full dataset as a CSV — because buyers, journalists and analysts keep asking the same three questions and nobody has answered them with data.

Headline numbers
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| SKUs analysed | 407 |
| Median unit price | ¥34.68 (about $4.88) |
| Mean unit price | ¥35.57 |
| Cheapest SKU | ¥0.5 |
| Most expensive SKU | ¥130.8 |
| Share priced ¥35–¥55 | 29.7% — the single largest band |
| Share magnetic / MagSafe | 24.3% |
1. Category split
Car mounts remain the core of the catalogue, but the interesting movement is in the adjacent categories: wireless charging and powered mounts together now account for a quarter of all SKUs.
| Category | SKUs | Share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Car phone mounts | 220 | 54.1% | |
| Wireless chargers | 58 | 14.3% | |
| Bike & motorcycle mounts | 44 | 10.8% | |
| Desk & bedside stands | 37 | 9.1% | |
| Electric / auto-clamping | 33 | 8.1% | |
| Car fans | 7 | 1.7% | |
| Hot picks | 6 | 1.5% | |
| Car diffusers | 2 | 0.5% |
2. Price bands
The distribution is not uniform. It clusters hard in the ¥35–¥55 band, which is where magnetic and charging mounts with a proper housing land. Below ¥20 you are almost entirely in basic mechanical holders.
| Price band | SKUs | Share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under ¥10 | 56 | 13.8% | |
| ¥10 – ¥20 | 70 | 17.2% | |
| ¥20 – ¥35 | 78 | 19.2% | |
| ¥35 – ¥55 | 121 | 29.7% | |
| ¥55 – ¥80 | 70 | 17.2% | |
| ¥80 and above | 12 | 2.9% |
Reading the bands commercially: the sub-¥20 tier (31.0% of SKUs) is a volume play with thin margins and high substitution; the ¥35–¥55 tier (29.7%) is where differentiated product lives; above ¥80 there are only 12 SKUs, all of them feature-heavy.
3. Feature prevalence
Features overlap — a single mount can be magnetic, charging and auto-clamping — so read these as "share of the catalogue that mentions the feature" rather than mutually exclusive buckets.
| Feature | SKUs | Share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magnetic / MagSafe compatible | 99 | 24.3% | |
| Wireless charging | 89 | 21.9% | |
| Auto-clamping / electric | 76 | 18.7% | |
| Vacuum or suction base | 67 | 16.5% | |
| Foldable-phone capable | 56 | 13.8% | |
| Air-vent mount | 44 | 10.8% | |
| Dashboard mount | 27 | 6.6% | |
| RGB / ambient light | 6 | 1.5% |
What the data says
- Magnetic attachment is now the default, not the premium option. At 24.3% of the catalogue it has stopped being a differentiator and started being table stakes.
- Charging has moved into the mount. 21.9% of SKUs charge the phone while holding it. For fleets and ride-hailing this is now the expected specification.
- Power is normalising. 18.7% of SKUs are auto-clamping or electric — a feature that was a rarity three years ago.
- Foldable-ready supply still lags demand. Only 13.8% of SKUs are explicitly designed for folding phones, against a foldable market that grew faster than the slab market in 2026.
- The middle price band is crowded. Nearly 49% of the catalogue sits between ¥20 and ¥55, so differentiation has to come from specification, not price.
Methodology
Figures are a complete count — not a sample — of the 407 SKUs in Carmountsupply's live wholesale catalogue as of September 2026. Prices are factory-direct unit prices in CNY at 1,000-piece quantities; the USD conversion is indicative. Categories are the catalogue's own. Feature counts are keyword matches across product name, SEO title and specification text, so they indicate presence of a feature rather than a performance grade. Counted on 29 September 2026.
