UAE Automotive Aftermarket to Reach US$1.91 Billion by 2028, with SE Asian Companies Playing Pivotal Role

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.
