Riding on the booming automotive aftermarket and service industry in the UAE and the region, the UAE China Tyre & Auto Parts Expo is set to see a significant rise in the number of exhibitors in its upcoming edition. The 3rd UAE China Tyre & Auto Parts Expo 2024 will commence at Expo Centre Sharjah from May 27, 2024, as announced at a press conference.

Organised by Inter Commerce Expo Corporation in association with Shandong Port Overseas Supply Chain (Qingdao) Co., Ltd. and Hualun Inter Tech FZCO, the three-day event will continue until May 29. The event is supported by the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI).

The 3rd UAE China Tyre & Auto Parts Expo 2024 will host nearly 300 exhibitors from China, marking a 130% increase compared to the previous show, which featured more than 130 participants. This was revealed at the press conference held at Expo Centre Sharjah.

The conference was addressed by Jamal Saeed Bouzanjal, Director of the Corporate Communication Department at SCCI; Wang Dong, Chairman of Shandong Port Oversea Supply Chain (Qingdao) Co., Ltd.; Liu Ju'an, CEO of Shandong Port Oversea Supply Chain (Qingdao) Co., Ltd.; Yang Xue, Representative of Shandong Business Office in West Asia and Africa; and Zhou Runcheng, Department Director of Inter Commerce Expo Corporation.

Bouzanjal highlighted the importance of the UAE China Tyre & Auto Parts Expo as a crucial platform for fostering business connections and exploring new innovations in this vital industry. He noted that the event provides a valuable opportunity for Chinese manufacturers to strengthen their presence and expand in various regional markets.

He emphasised that the Sharjah Chamber’s commitment to supporting the event underscores its pivotal role in advancing the auto parts trade sector, which is experiencing notable growth in the UAE and the wider region.

Increasing Scale

Ju'an remarked: "The 130% increase in participants is an impressive rise for any trade fair. This is only the third edition of the UAE China Tyre & Auto Parts Expo, and we are happy to see such growth in a short span of time. This underscores the growing trade relations between the UAE and China."

Dong added: "China’s automotive exports are on the rise, driven by technological advancements, supply chain advantages, and strategic bilateral relations. Chinese manufacturers are increasing their scale and competitiveness, especially in the new energy vehicle industry."

Regional Automotive Aftermarket

The regional automotive aftermarket is driven by a rise in new vehicle sales, localised production, rising demand for vehicle modification, and other macro-economic factors such as a strong local economy and population growth. The event will gather decision-makers across aftermarket and supply chain sectors, including garages, body shops, retailers, dealers, detailing services, and vehicle manufacturers.

Apart from a comprehensive display of all types of auto parts and tyres, the event will be open to visitors from May 27 to 29 from 10 am to 6 pm. It will also feature forums discussing topics related to industry and technology.
