The MEA region's automotive aftermarket industry gathers here
The automotive aftermarket across the Middle East and Africa is at an inflection point. New technologies, shifting supply chains, evolving mobility demands, and the region's accelerating economic growth are reshaping every corner of the industry — and Automechanika Dubai 2026 is where the decisions get made.
For 22 editions, this show has been the essential meeting point for the region's automotive professionals. This November, it enters a new era. The Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo City Dubai gives the world's foremost aftermarket gathering the stage it has long deserved — more space, better infrastructure, and a venue built for the global events of tomorrow.
Whether you're an exhibitor looking to expand your reach across MEA and beyond, or a trade buyer sourcing the latest products and technologies, Automechanika Dubai 2026 is your most important appointment of the year.
