The 4th UAE China Tyre & Auto Parts Expo 2025 is scheduled to take place at Expo Centre Sharjah from May 16 to May 18, 2025. This event promises to provide the regional market with direct access to China’s prestigious auto parts industry, known for its advanced manufacturing and swift technological innovation.

A press conference announcing the expo was held at the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) headquarters. Among those present were Abdul Aziz Al Shamsi, Assistant Director-General for Communication and Business Sector at SCCI, and Steve Zhou, Director of International Affairs at Inter Commerce Expo Corporation, along with other senior officials from both organizations.

Abdul Al Shamsi emphasized the Sharjah Chamber’s commitment to supporting the expo as a strategic platform for the rapidly growing tyre and auto parts sector in both the UAE and the wider region. He noted that the exhibition will unite leading Chinese and regional companies involved in manufacturing, distribution, retail, and installation. This event not only facilitates business networking and innovation exchange in the tyre and auto parts industry but also presents Chinese enterprises with opportunities to extend their market presence throughout the region.

The previous expo in May 2024 showcased significant growth and technological advancements in China’s tyre and auto parts sector, attracting approximately 10 000 professional visitors from the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, and South Asia. This success has further solidified the UAE’s role as a major trading hub.

Steve Zhou remarked that the increasing demand for Chinese auto parts is fueled by competitive pricing, enhanced quality, technological improvements, and production efficiency. He highlighted that China’s strong bilateral relations and supply chain benefits with the UAE, along with its rising influence in the new energy vehicle sector, will play essential roles in the growth of the UAE automotive industry and the overall success of the UAE China Tyre & Auto Parts Expo.

The expo will capitalize on the impressive $102 billion trade between the UAE and China in 2024, reflecting a 7% increase from the previous year. This growth underscores the strengthening economic ties and the strategic significance of their bilateral relations, especially as they celebrate the 40th anniversary of diplomatic ties in 2024. These developments make the expo a vital event for industry participants.

Industry analysts point out that the UAE’s automotive sector is greatly benefiting from its deepening connections with Chinese manufacturers, particularly regarding market share expansion and the adoption of electric vehicles, which will be a focal point at the expo.

Additionally, the event will feature a dedicated forum addressing key issues such as the current status of the Chinese tyre industry, the cutting-edge technologies used in tyre production, and the launch of a new platform for online matchmaking and warehousing. This forum aims to provide valuable insights and promote discussions among industry leaders, fostering collaboration and innovation within the sector.

Organized in partnership with Shandong Port Overseas Supply Chain (Qingdao) Co., Ltd. and Hualun Inter Tech FZCO, the expo will showcase a wide array of exhibits, including various types of tyres, auto parts, electric vehicles, and charging stations, connecting the regional market to the Chinese tyre and auto parts industries.
