There are three reasons to choose the Guangzhou Auto Maintenance Exhibition

1. The largest profit cheese of Automobile Industry Chain
With the fast development of Chinese economy and the continuous growth of car purchase, the automotive after-sale service market develops rapidly. According to an overseas statistics, in a complete mature international automotive market, the profit of automotive after-sale market will take up 50%-60% of the total profit in the entire automobile industry, and therefore it is called as the largest profit cheese of automobile industry chain.
2. Seize the largest Auto Maintenance Market in China
At present, China automobile manufacturing industry is developing at an average speed of 24.5% per year, it is predicted that the total inventory of all kinds of cars in China will reach 60 million in 2010. And there will be 1000-1500 billion super large scale automotive after-sale market. The automobile sales amount of Guangdong province was more than 300 thousand in 2005 which took up 1/3 of the total sales amount of China, and the automobile inventory of Guangdong province were also at the top of China.
3. Complete New Market, a Strategic Area Essential for Contending for Auto Maintenance Manufacturers
The largest automotive after-sale markets of China mainly locate in Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai. At present, owing to the frequent auto maintenance exhibitions, the markets are near saturated in Beijing and Shanghai. Because there is no large-scale professional auto maintenance exhibition all the time, Guangzhou, which is still a complete new market of auto maintenance, must be a strategic area essential for contending of auto maintenance manufacturers. Besides, as one of the most important foreign trade windows, Guangzhou possesses the most abundant foreign trade resources of China, it can offer more opportunities for auto maintenance enterprises which are facing domestic market competition to enter the international market.
