AUTOMECHANIKA HO CHI MINH CITY 2023 CLOSES TO PRAISE
The show was held at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center
The 2023 instalment of Automechanika Ho Chi Minh City hosted 13,148 visitors from 37 countries and regions and 461 exhibitors from 20 countries and regions, across 15,740sqm of floor space.
“I am delighted to see an increase in participation amongst local and overseas exhibitors and visitors,” Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd General Manager, Fiona Chiew, said.
“It shows that players are recognising opportunities in the automotive supply chain and are using our platform as a gateway for trade and exchange.
“The engagement from the local players in our fringe programme was also very encouraging; it demonstrates an eagerness to advance the local automotive industry.”
Once again, the trade fair offered an ideal occasion for domestic and overseas automotive markets to come together.
Buyers visited from 37 countries and regions, including Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the US, and Vietnam, to name a few.
During the three days, many conversations revolved around the rapidly evolving automotive industry. In particular, electric vehicles, automotive manufacturing, and automation dominated discussions.
The EV Zone, Automotive Manufacturing and Automation Zone, Auto Service and Maintenance Zone, and Accessories and Customising Zone were amongst the show floor’s most popular areas. Across these specialised zones, exhibitors presented their latest products, services and technologies in OE to the aftermarket.
Elsewhere, AutoFest@HCMC drew in a wider audience adopting more B2C elements. Visitors were impressed by the unique trade fair experience, which brought together the auto service day, live music and entertainment, as well as the EMMA Vietnam – Car Audio and Modification Competition, drift shows, and car servicing.
The next edition of Automechanika Ho Chi Minh City will take place across the 20th to the 22nd of June 2024.
The trade fair is co-organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, Chan Chao International Co Ltd and Yorkers Exhibition Service Vietnam.
