Thank you for joining us at the largest international trade exhibition for the automotive aftermarket and service industry in the wider Middle East this year. We look forward to seeing you next year from 10 – 12 December 2024 at Dubai World Trade Centre.
With a firm grip for speedy growth, discover over 220+ exhibitors under this product category. Expect to find an extensive product-range covering passenger, commercial, industrial and agricultural vehicles that include tires, rims and tubes, re-treading material and equipment, patches, batteries and more.
Market forecasted to grow in next 5 years
Middle East automotive market is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 5.12%, in volume terms during 2018 – 2024, with sales volumes projected to reach 3.68m units by 2024.
As of now the entire demand for tires in the Middle East is being met through imports. Leading tire companies are planning to set up manufacturing units. For instance Saudi Arabian National Tire Company (NTC) manufacturing in Jubail and Tirebot manufacturing in Abu Dhabi.
To reduce costs incurred by commercial vehicle owners, demand for retreaded tires for commercial vehicles is expected to increase in the coming years.
We were pleasantly surprised that this year had more African visitors coming over (which is a target audience for us) and was quite busy.
We did notice, that “quality” visitors were more this year. The business-matching making program is the greatest tool you have brought in which really works and helps.
The 2019 edition of Automechanika Dubai was an exceptionally positive experience. We didn’t expect such a big interest in inner tubes and agricultural tires. We have the impression that the show is getting better and better with each edition from the perspective of organization and the amount and variety of visitors as well.
Automechanika Dubai is a good place to meet old friends and explore new business opportunities. The show in 2019 is better than the ones in previous years. We will definitely join you again and looking forward [to it].
It was good show especially from the customer and supplier’s perspective. We did come across few genuinely interested visitors who were keen in developing business with us. Being one of the sponsor of the event was a good highlight for us plus we also invested in the utilization of few marketing tools that got us the visibility during the show.
Automechanika Dubai 2019 is very successful for us. We met many old and new customers from Middle East and Africa country. Most of them are professional in tyre and spare parts business. We hope to benefit and have more chance for cooperation in the near future.
As a first time exhibitor, we were very happy to have met a wider audience of visitors from the UAE, KSA, Kuwait and Lebanon whose level of seriousness in doing business was quite high.
