About 1,695 exhibitors from 59 countries are sharing centre-stage at the event, which was inaugurated by Matar Al Tayer, chairman of the Board and Executive Director of the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority.
 
“The 12th edition of the Middle East’s largest automotive aftermarket event in Dubai is 19 per cent larger than previous year and 17 times bigger than first show held 12 years ago,” Ahmed Pauwels, CEO of Epoc Messe Frankfurt, the organiser of the event, told Khaleej Times after the opening.
Pauwels mentioned that UAE pavilion leads in terms of year-on-year growth in exhibitors. “UAE-based companies have increased by 41 per cent to 205 exhibitors compared to 145 last year,” he explained. This is quite significant jump, he added. The exhibition has also recorded an 11 per cent surge in international exhibitors taking part, with 1,490 on board compared to 1,336 in 2013.
The significant cross-spectrum growth firmly underlines Automechanika Dubai’s regional primacy as the preferred trade and networking event for the automotive aftermarket.
Pauwels said: “Automechanika Dubai has traditionally played a significant role in the ongoing development of the Middle East’s vibrant aftermarket industry by serving as a show window to the region for a wide range of international and local brands.
“Being based in Dubai — a major import and re-export hub driving trans-regional trade — Automechanika Dubai’s growth reflects the increasing global interest in doing business in the region,” he added.
Covering more than 56,000sqm of space across 12 halls, Automechanika Dubai is hosting 22 country pavilions, including the world’s largest German Pavilion for the automotive aftermarket industry.
Automechanika Dubai covers a wide spectrum of products, including automotive parts, systems, tuning, workshop equipment, bodywork & paintwork, car wash, IT & management, tyres & batteries, and the latest automobile services.
