Economic scenario of UAE

UAE upholds its position as a leading global economy, characterized by high competitiveness and advanced infrastructure, all the while employing innovative tactics to foster economic expansion and diversification. Key economic development indicators demonstrate the stability and resilience of the UAE's economy driven by diversified sectors such as tourism, finance, trade, and logistics. United Arab Emirates' economy rebounded well from the COVID-19 crisis, growing 7.9% in 2022. In recent years, the economy faced headwinds due to the disruptions to global supply chains and fluctuating demand causing GDP to reach 3.4% in 2023

UAE ranked 19th among 85 world's best countries on the 2023 edition of the U.S. News & World Report with good rankings in open for business and quality of life. Manufacturing activities have seen unprecedented growth in recent years, particularly in sectors such as metal processing, furniture, industrial preparation of foodstuffs, aluminium production, construction materials, etc. With continued focus on tourism, construction, and real estate sectors, UAE anticipates a notable surge in demand for engineering, electronics, and automobile manufacturing. Thereby diversifying by capitalizing on emerging opportunities across various industries.

India and UAE's Bilateral Trade

UAE holds significant importance for India. UAE is among the top 5 export destinations for the Indian engineering industry and the largest in the WANA region. It was the 3rd largest trading partner in 2022-23. Between 2018-19 and 2022-23, India's exports to the UAE increased from USD 30.1 billion to USD 31.6 billion. During this period, UAE's engineering imports from India also increased to reach USD 5 billion in 2022-23 from USD 3.1 billion in 2020-21. However, there still lies significant potential for expansion.

The product profile of Automechanika Dubai 2024 consists of Auto components and parts, accessories, tyres & batteries, electronics & systems and other related products. In 2022-23, India's exports of Auto components and parts stood at USD 7.27 billion which is a 5.78% increase over the last fiscal year. On the other hand, India's export of auto components and parts to UAE stood at US$ 0.17 billion, reflecting 47.1% growth over the last fiscal.

India holds the place among UAE's top 10 suppliers for auto components and parts with a share of 5% only in UAE's overall import of auto components & parts.

Opportunity for Indian Auto components and parts in UAE

UAE has been focusing on becoming a hub for automotive trade and innovation. Thus, presents a promising opportunity for Indian auto components and parts manufacturers to cater to these evolving needs seeking reliable and cost-effective solutions. Indian auto components with a diversified product range have witnessed impressive expansion within the UAE market and have emerged as the preferred choice among industry players and importers.

Additionally, the strategic geographical proximity between India and the UAE facilitates efficient logistics and supply chain management, further enhancing the attractiveness of Indian products in the UAE market and offering a gateway to the broader Middle East market. Indian auto components and parts exporters can capitalize on these evolving opportunities in the UAE.

The global automotive aftermarket industry is poised for significant growth, projected to reach US$ 529.25 billion by 2028. Within this evolving automotive landscape and its future-ready infrastructure, UAE is already a step ahead with its exploration of EV and autonomous vehicles and other alternatives which is also leading to the expansion of the demand in the region. The country will become an even more substantial market for the Indian supplier, reflecting an ample scope for the auto component segment.

In this background, it is an apt time for India to respond to the demand for the auto components and accessories of UAE and explore the untapped potential while enhancing its share in the UAE's market through participation in the Automechanika Dubai 2024. Undoubtedly, the event will play a major role for auto parts manufacturers and distributors of the Indian engineering sector, opening doors to major growth opportunities in this industry.
