The U.S. Commercial Service Automotive Team is pleased to invite American firms to participate in Automechanika Shanghai 2008, 10-12 December, in Shanghai, China, to promote American automotive products and services to the Chinese market.
WHY CHINA?
China has become the second largest auto consumption market in the world in 2006, with automobile sales volume reaching seven million units. China’s auto industry experienced steady growth in the past year and the import volume accounted for 3% of the total China market. China is the 2nd largest automotive market in the world, behind the U.S., with 8.7 million new vehicles sold in 2007. News from the Chinese auto sector continues to be positive heading into 2008, and the market has never looked more attractive for overseas manufacturers and suppliers of parts and aftermarket products.
