Emirati Leader Explores Dubai's Premier Automotive Aftermarket Expo for 2025
The UAE's Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence visited Automechanika Dubai 2025, the Middle East and Africa's largest automotive trade show, highlighting the region's growing importance in the global vehicle services industry. The exhibition brings together over 2,300 exhibitors from 60+ countries, showcasing cutting-edge automotive technologies and solutions.
Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan toured the exhibition at Dubai World Trade Centre, which runs until December 11. The show spans more than 92,000 square meters across 20 halls - an 11% increase from last year that reflects the booming automotive services sector.
During his visit, the minister explored pavilions featuring innovative technologies and solutions that support vehicle and logistics development. He stopped at Golden Extreme, a company specializing in vehicle care solutions, which is displaying advanced technologies for vehicle protection and performance enhancement this year.
The minister also visited international companies showcasing industrial rubber, tires, brake systems, workshop equipment, and technical services. These exhibits demonstrate how the automotive aftermarket continues to evolve with new technologies and business models.
This year's event features specialized conferences addressing key industry trends. The Commercial Vehicle Evolution event focuses on fleet management, electric transformation, and smart logistics solutions. The LabX conference covers the complete supply chain for lubricants, base oils, and additives. There's also a Fleet Advancement Forum examining fleet sustainability, digitization, and business development in transportation.
The exhibition serves as a bridge connecting Middle Eastern, African, Asian, and Commonwealth of Independent States markets. For automotive companies, it provides access to a region where vehicle ownership and infrastructure development continue growing rapidly.
The 11% space increase and strong international participation signal confidence in the region's automotive market. Companies are betting on continued growth in vehicle sales, maintenance services, and logistics infrastructure across emerging economies in the region.
For Dubai, hosting such events reinforces its position as a regional business hub. The emirate continues building its reputation as a gateway for international companies looking to enter Middle Eastern and African markets, particularly in high-growth sectors like automotive services and logistics.
