Dubai, UAE: Automechanika Dubai has highlighted the expected growth of the UAE's automotive aftermarket industry to reach $1.91 billion by 2028 during an official networking event held under the theme Strengthening Collaborations: Southeast Asia and UAE.
According to Glasgow Research & Consulting, the UAE is on track to experience substantial growth as a result of rising vehicle ownership, technological advancements, and robust demand for vehicle parts and services across the region is fuelling the growth.
A key driver is the increasing involvement of Southeast Asian automotive companies, which now contribute 5% of the market share. These companies are becoming increasingly important in the UAE's automotive aftermarket, bringing a wealth of expertise, cost-effective solutions, and high-quality products that are transforming the sector.
The insights were revealed at an Automechanika Dubai Network event chaired by Vishal Pandey, Director of Glasgow Research & Consulting. Speaking at the event, Pandey said: “As vehicle ownership continues to rise in the UAE, driven by economic recovery and infrastructure development, the demand for aftermarket parts and services is expected to surge.
“With Southeast Asian companies playing a critical role, the market is well-positioned to address the needs of the evolving automotive landscape. The focus of these companies on sustainability and advanced technologies will also help shape the industry's future, aligning with the UAE’s vision for a greener, more efficient automotive sector.”
Other presentations included an opening keynote speech by Mohammad Al Kassim, Investment Attraction Director, Dubai Chambers, where he addressed strengthening the economic corridor between the UAE and Southeast Asia for sustainable growth and innovation. Bakri Bin Alias, Senior General Manager, Malaysian Automotive, Robotics & IoT Institute, provided insights into the region’s expertise and sustainability focus as part of a session outlining Southeast Asia’s innovation within the automotive market.
As part of Automechanika Dubai this year, visitors will have the opportunity to experience Southeast Asia’s automotive landscape as part of the exhibition's regional focus event.

Commenting on the market, Mahmut Gazi Bilikozen, Portfolio Director at Automechanika Dubai organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: “Southeast Asian companies are renowned for their innovation and competitive pricing and have established a solid foothold in the UAE market.
“With strategic partnerships and regional synergies, they are enhancing the availability of automotive components, including tyres, batteries, and mechanical parts. Their presence caters to the growing demand for aftermarket services and contributes to the local economy by fostering job creation and skills development within the industry.
