SHANGHAI, China, May 30, 2006 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Auto Components Shanghai 2006 will be held ceremoniously in the Shanghai Automobile Exhibition Centre

from June 8 to 10. As a grand event of China's auto parts industry, nearly 200 manufacturers from 10 countries and regions will attend, including over 40% foreign companies, and the exhibition space will reach 12,000 m2.

China's auto industry has developed rapidly by an annual average of over 30% in recent years and has a broad market prospect. The auto parts industry has also developed alongside the Auto Market. In 2005, the number of relatively large-scale domestic auto parts enterprises surpassed 5,000 and their production scale reached RMB440 billion. Based on the forecast by a relevant department, the sales of China's auto parts industry will amount to RMB800 billion or so by 2010. Against such a favorable background, the auto parts industry will have a full scope for development.

At present, a number of export-oriented enterprises focusing on auto parts have emerged in China. China's total export value of auto products reached USD19.7 billion last year, with the export of auto parts, accessories and bodies accounting for 43% of it, up by 51% from the previous year. The overall level of China's auto parts industry was heightened and its products reached international standards; attracting foreign auto giants to China for procurement one after another. By the end of last year, at least 70% of the top 100 auto parts suppliers in the world had started business in China.

Lead names in the world tyre industry will all come to the event and famous companies such as Michelin, Goodyear and Yokohamatire will exhibit their latest technology and products. There will be splendid activities in all exhibition sections.

The orgaziners selected the Jiading Automobile Town as the venue of the exhibition for the first time as it is characterized by a rich atmosphere of the auto industry and will give full play to the inherent advantages of the auto parts industry while satisfying the requirements of the exhibition.
