academy-web

The Middle East’s automotive aftermarket continues its strong growth trajectory, with sustained momentum driven by infrastructure development, increased vehicle parc, and a growing focus on sustainability. The UAE remains at the forefront, with EV adoption expected to exceed 12,850 units by 2025, in line with national sustainability goals. Dubai is accelerating efforts to convert 30% of public sector fleets and 10% of vehicle sales to electric or hybrid models by 2030. Abu Dhabi also leads the charge with expanding EV and hybrid fleets, alongside a rapidly growing network of charging stations. Meanwhile, the region's autonomous and connected mobility market is expanding, as smart city initiatives and data-driven innovation reshape the aftermarket landscape. Demand for parts such as lubricants, filters, batteries, tires, and diagnostics tools continues to surge, particularly across commercial vehicle and fleet segments.

An integral part of Automechanika Dubai, the Automechanika Academy returns in 2025 as the region’s premier knowledge-sharing platform for the automotive aftermarket and service industry. The Academy delivers strategic insights, expert analysis, and future-focused dialogue, addressing the latest trends and challenges facing the sector. The 2025 edition will feature dedicated thematic days spotlighting policy and regulatory frameworks, sustainability, remanufacturing, electrification, digitalisation, and supply chain innovation—uniting government leaders, OEMs, suppliers, and technology innovators in shaping the future of mobility in the region.
