Automotive - a key sector in the Middle East
The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing automotive markets, driven by:
- Strong demand for SUVs, utility vehicles, and electric vehicles,
- Regional hubs such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, serving as platforms for re-export to Africa and Asia,
- Major logistics free zones (e.g., Jebel Ali Free Zone),
- Attractiveness for Chinese manufacturers and equipment suppliers.
In this context, last November, TTE Gulf Management Consultancy supported the first edition of the China Auto Festival 2025, held at the Yiwu Market Dubai, located in the Jebel Ali Free Zone. This major event brought together leaders from the automotive industry, connecting Chinese manufacturing innovation with the rapidly growing automotive and mobility markets in the Middle East.
