The seventh staging of the Tyrexpo event will take place in April, and will see in excess of 2,500 international, regional and local tyre manufacturers, OEMs, distributors, dealers, retailers fleet operators and garage owners convene at Gallagher Convention Centre Hall 2, in Johannesburg.
The show – which opens on 10 April and runs until 12 April 2018 - will focus on three core areas: a focused business matching service, supporting the community’s need for new partnerships to support the rollout of new and existing products to the region; a widened core exhibiting profile to include the garage segment, providing buyers, fleet owners, OEMs, garage owners and distributors with the potential to acquire new products and solutions to diversify or enhance their service offerings; and a focus on the omni-channel outreach campaign to draw in buyers from 10 key markets in the sub-Saharan region.
Ian Wu, Cluster Director, Healthcare and Automotive & Commodities at the organising company, SingEx Exhibitions, commented: “We pride ourselves in the quality of event participants and on our unique approach of deploying a dedicated on-the-ground team, allowing us to personalise individual buyers’ and sellers’ business matching needs.

The tyre industry, in which manufacturers alone contributed close to R20 billion Rand a year to the South African economy in 2014 and 6,500 direct and 35,000 indirect jobs, shows strong growth. The African tyre market is expected to surpass $8 billion by 2022, creating a wealth of new growth and job opportunities. the global automotive repair and maintenance services market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2016 – 2026, to exceed US$750 Billion over the next 10 years, according to a Future Market Insights report.
With this in mind, SingEx Exhibitions strategically placed one of the series in this market to serve as the region’s converging platform for knowledge sharing, innovation and technology showcase as well as business networking within the communities in the entire tyre ecosystem.
“The growth potential of Africa’s automotive repair and maintenance services market is truly exciting. There are new and growing business opportunities across the continent, particularly as vehicle owners seek to extend the lifespans of their existing vehicles, and as retreads and tyre recycling become increasingly attractive business opportunities. Tyrexpo Africa 2018, in conjunction with GarageXpo Africa 2018 will bring together the continental marketplace, amalgamating the platforms into a true one-stop sourcing and networking hub for the entire tyre and automotive ecosystem.” said Mr Ian Wu.
Tyrexpo Africa is an event as part of the Tyrexpo series held in various parts of the world, including Singapore, India (Chennai and New Delhi), and South Africa in helping to drive the global tyre industry through new growth opportunities.
