TYREXPO ASIA 2004

‘Europe was top dog in the 1800’s, America was the great power of the last century and the next 100 years will belong to Asia’ (The Times).

A recent report by Goldman Sachs forecast that China will overtake America to become the world’s largest economy by 2040. As China’s economy grows, it will act as a magnet for raw materials and goods from surrounding Asian countries, giving a boost to the whole region. It remains one of the most exciting growth areas in Asia, with its potentially vast consumer markets and its low manufacturing cost base.

Singapore is a recognised gateway to Asia, attracting leading buyers from the whole of South East Asia and Australasia as well as the key decision makers from China and other Asian markets, providing a comprehensive mix of buyers and sellers from across the entire region.

The Asian region offers the tyre industry major opportunities for those companies committed to its long-term future. With Asian tyre consumption accounting for over 35 per cent of world demand combined with the enormous potential of tyre markets such as China and India where companies are making a name for themselves in the global tyre market, the Asian region offers investment opportunities to manufacturers and suppliers alike.

Tyrexpo Asia 2004 will be the 4th in the series of Tyrexpo Asia events that focuses on the fastest areas of growth in the tyre market and it is the only established tyre event of its kind in Asia. The 2004 event will be the largest yet and exceeds previous Tyrexpo Asia shows by over 25 per cent. The 2001 exhibition attracted visitors and exhibitors from over 63 different countries making it a truly international event. The show will once again be sponsored by Tyres & Accessories and Neue Reifenzeitung in addition to being strongly supported by specialist trade press and sponsors IE Singapore (International Enterprise Singapore). Tyrexpo Asia 2004 takes place from the 17 to 19 February at the Singapore Expo Centre and provides the perfect forum for the tyre industry to be stimulated by new ideas, products and market opportunities which reflect the importance of globalization within the region.
