Thank you for joining us at Automechanika Riyadh 2024! We hope you enjoyed exploring the latest product developments, live demonstrations, and networking opportunities.
Stay tuned for updates on the upcoming events and highlights.
Saudi Arabia is the largest market for the automotive aftermarket industry in the Middle East and will continue to grow rapidly driven by the country’s economic growth. Here’s why:
About 83% of the vehicles in Saudi Arabia are without warranty and seek external aftermarket services, according to recent research from Glasgow Consulting Group.
About 94% of drivers consider third party aftermarket service, which implies that a significant number of customers are willing to avail the services of an outside workshop for vehicle maintenance.
Growth in infrastructure development, logistics, e-commerce and tourism as a part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 are set to contribute towards major growth in the automotive and aftermarket sector in the Kingdom.
If you’re interested in tapping into the business opportunities present in this market and are looking for a platform to showcase your products and solutions, Automechanika Riyadh will be a must-attend event for you.
Whether you're a manufacturer looking to enter the market or a well-established distributor/supplier, Automechanika Riyadh is the perfect gateway for you to be part of the opportunity that Saudi Arabia, the region's largest automotive aftermarket industry presents.
We exhibited at Automechanika Riyadh 2020 and the response to our products and services exceeded our expectations. Sensus prides itself on offering the latest digital solutions in the MENA region and we found that the attendees were very welcoming to our technology in their region and we gained a large number of leads from the event.
Automechanika Riyadh 2020 was a good forum to link with KSA customers and to start an export business relationship. Every visitor appreciated us after knowing our product manufacturing capability and showed keen interest in purchasing from us. Most visitors agreed to purchase sizeable quantities of our products if we open dealer/distribution channels in KSA.
Automechanika Riyadh is a great place for us because we are seeing a number of engineers who are really interested in technology. Many of the discussions we had were about technologies and about how these can help in the future.
I am excited for the show because it is giving a strong feeling about the local Saudi market. We would like to see the show develop every year and this year has been very strong. We received a lot of visitors and it’s obvious that visitors are looking for companies with spare parts and so I advise companies to take part in future shows.

Build-up & Dismantling
Build Up
The set up for Automechanika Riyadh will commence two days prior to the exhibition, whereby this first day is reserved for stand contractors only. Exhibitors may decorate their booths with product displays during the afternoon the day before opening.
Exhibitor badges can be collected onsite from the entrance hall. Stand contractors and labourers will access the hall from the loading bay area.
Dismantling
Please do not dismantle or clear your stand before the official closing of the show.
Vehicles will have access to the loading bay only after the show, gate passes are not issued by the Organiser.
For security reasons, the hall needs to be cleared of all exhibits by midnight on the final day. The Organiser will not be responsible for the loss of any goods that has been left overnight and we therefore advise all exhibitors to clear the goods and exhibits as soon as the exhibition is closed.
'Space Only' Contractors can access the hall until 7am, the morning after the show. Please note that contractors will be liable for charges if any materials are left in the hall after.
Important Exhibitor Warning
To protect the privacy of our stakeholders, Messe Frankfurt Middle East GmbH does not sell attendee or exhibitor list data for any of our events. Email solicitations from 3rd parties claiming to offer access to names/contacts of the “attendee database” are completely fraudulent, and are in no way associated with Messe Frankfurt Middle East GmbH.
Be advised that if you receive an email from any company indicating that they are in possession of attendee lists for any of our events, then this is fraudulent information as they do not have access to our lists, nor do they have permission to use our brands to sell any such lists. We suggest that you ignore them and report it to your local trading standards agency.
Cybercrime
In the past, fraudsters have sent manipulated invoices from e-mail addresses that look confusingly similar to those of Messe Frankfurt Midde East. In some cases, it is only a matter of changing a single letter or a different arrangement of the name. Before paying an invoice, please pay close attention to the sender's address and check that the account details given are correct.
