Automechanika Ho Chi Minh City 2018 is expected to gather 360 international exhibitors and 8,500 visitors across 9,200 sqm of exhibition space at the SECC in Vietnam, informed the organizers.

The upcoming edition of Automechanika Ho Chi Minh City will debut its new Tyre Competence, a dedicated exhibitor categorization which will sit alongside the shows already established Motorcycle Competence. 

This addition will specially highlight exhibitors with products and services relating to tyres, wheels and rims during the show, allowing visiting buyers to quickly identify the most relevant exhibiting brands for an improved sourcing experience. Through the new Tyre Competence categorization, the event will showcase players from the tyre industry, reflecting the market's high levels of growth in recent years both globally and domestically. 

In fact, the tyre market in Vietnam alone is expected to surpass US$3 billion by the end of 2021 and will continue in a positive direction in the coming years, stated the Ministry of Industry & Trade. 

Last year, 341 exhibitors from 19 countries and regions with 89% from overseas participated in the trade fair, including China, Germany, India, Korea, Singapore, the US and others. 

Consequently, more than 8,000 trade visitors and buyers from 52 countries and regions with 78% from Vietnam visited this business platform. Overseas buyer delegations from China, Italy, Korea, Myanmar and Thailand were also specially invited to the show. 

One participating exhibitor is PT Astra Otoparts, the largest automotive parts and components group in Indonesia. Adreas Hartoyo Yaputra, the company's Marketing Supervisor, is looking forward to being part of the show's newest addition. 

"In 2017, Vietnam was the home of over 45 million motorcycles, which contributes to tyres having a prominent position in the region. To have this reflected at Automechanika Ho Chi Minh City will help us discover new opportunities, as the market is very attractive for us right now," he said.

Tyre Competence will also feature Ying Paio Enterprise, a Taiwanese manufacturer who produces tyre repair materials for all vehicles, such as patches, sealants, repair kits, valves, balance weights and adaptors. 

"The automotive industry in Vietnam and across Southeast Asia is significantly boosted by growing demands in the tyre sector," Sue Chen, the company's General Manager, said.  

"Having this reflected on the show floor at Automechanika Ho Chi Minh City means we as an exhibitor have an even better opportunity to present our products to the right audience."

Some of the exhibitors who will also carry the Tyre Competence pictogram at the fairground come from Indonesia, Taiwan, the US and Vietnam, and include 31 Incorporated, Mitra Rubber Industries, Omexey Rubber and Techwell Industrial.
