Jamal Bouzanjal highlighted the importance of the UAE China Tyre & Auto Parts Expo as a crucial platform for fostering business connections and exploring the latest innovations in this vital industry.
He further noted that the event provides a valuable opportunity for Chinese manufacturers to strengthen their presence and expand in various regional markets.
He emphasised the Sharjah Chamber’s commitment to supporting the event is a testament to its pivotal role in advancing the auto parts trade sector, which is experiencing notable growth in the UAE and the wider region.
For his part, Liu Ju'an, Host of the UAE China Tyre & Auto Parts Expo, said: “The 130 percent increase in the number of participants is an impressive rise in the number of exhibitors 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 impressive growth in such a short span of time. This underscores the growing trade relations between the UAE and China and the strong expansion being witnessed in the regional automotive aftermarket and service sector. The Expo is now one of the best events in the region where one can explore the latest parts, components, equipment, tools, technologies, tyres or services.”
“China’s automotive exports are on the rise, driven by technological advancements, supply chain advantages, and strategic bilateral relations. Chinese manufacturers are also increasing their scale and their competitiveness is constantly improving, especially in the new energy vehicle industry. Thus, the UAE China Tyre & Auto Parts Expo is uniquely placed to tap into the Chinese supply chain that is relatively stable, leading to consistent production, minimal cost fluctuations, and improved international competitiveness,” said Wang Dong, Chairman of the board, Shandong Port Oversea Supply chain (Qingdao) Co.,Ltd.
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 rise in population growth. It will be a gathering point for decision makers across aftermarket and supply chain, including garages, body shops, retailers, dealers, detailing, vehicle manufactures and more.
Apart from a comprehensive display of all types of auto parts and tyres, the event will also feature forums that will discuss topics related to the industry and technology.
