The 3rd Syrian International Motor Show: SYRAUTO 2003
The 3rd Syrian International Motor Show "SYRAUTO 2003," the international specialized exhibition for automotive and spare parts and accessories in the Middle East opens today July 6 through 12 at the Damascus International Fair Ground.
The Syrian automotive market has experienced several dramatic changes during the past three years. These changes were mainly caused by the liberalization of vehicle imports and the amendments introduced to the automobile customs duties, which eventually altered the competition structure of this market by increasing the variety of models and therefore raising the bargaining power of consumers.
Since its first round in 2001, SYRAUTO proved its ability to provide an ideal ground to learn about the new particularity of this market by directly examining the diversified needs of customers as well as highlighting the latest developments in the world-wide automobile technology.
The exhibition, however, is a great occasion for vendors to meet new prospects and to introduce the latest products and services in the automobile industry. It has successfully overpassed its boundaries to become a well-known event that regional companies anticipate to find new business opportunities in the Middle East. SYRAUTO 2002 witnessed the participation of 196 exhibitors representing 29 countries representing 11% increase over the first round, while the number of visitors reached 40,000 and the net exhibiting space exceeded 7500 square meters.
