For many years Hong Kong has been a major trading point for the automobile and related industries. That role is in sharper focus now that the Hong Kong International Auto Parts & Accessories Fair provides the region's most effective marketplace.

The fair provides a focal point for an industry which is thriving. From January to November 2007, Hong Kong's export of auto parts and accessories to the Chinese mainland rose by 7.5% and those to its second most important market, the USA, by 1.4%. Exports to Japan saw a 48.3% growth in this period while exports to the EU rose by 7.7%.

Total exports of auto parts and accessories by Hong Kong in 2006 amounted to US$1.56 billion and 2007 is well on track for another prosperous year.

imageMeeting the right people

Just how successful the fair has become in a few short years is shown by the increase in attendance at the 2007 fair to 6,523 buyers. This was a huge 50% increase on the number at the inaugural event in 2006.

The 2007 fair featured 263 exhibitors from 15 countries & regions.

Buyers' quotes

"The fair keeps us abreast of the developed and developing markets of the automobile industry. Between the international buyers and suppliers, Hong Kong has played an important role, not as an intermediate, but as an active member. I think both exhibitors and buyers appreciate this professionally organised event."
Huo Yi Guang, President, The Federation of Industry and Commerce, Auto and Motorbike Equipments and Accessories of China, the Chinese mainland

"This is my first time in the auto parts fair held at the AsiaWorld-Expo. I come to look for carbon fiber used for automobile exteriors. This is my first day here and I have located a couple of suppliers that might meet my needs. I will spend more time looking around to see if I am able to find more up-to-date sourcing, as the exhibitors are from different regions of the world."
Ulrich Reil, Production Materials Purchasing,
BMW Group, Germany

"This is a great occasion, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to gain new insights on technological information provided in the seminars and forum. Moreover, I have the chance to talk with auto parts manufacturers in Hong Kong and am very impressed to find them so knowledgeable about the automotive industry."
