**Exhibition Introduction:**

The fourteenth Kenya International Motor Show organized by the Kenya Exhibition Group will be held grandly in May 2012. Exhibitors from 17 countries will showcase all products of the automotive industry, related manufacturing equipment, and machinery. This exhibition is the longest-running and largest auto-motorcycle parts show in Kenya. Kenya is a member of the East African and Southern African Free Trade Markets and serves as the trade and financial center of East Africa. Although Kenya itself is one of the largest auto parts markets in Africa, the organizers focus on attracting traders and importers from neighboring countries to attend the exhibition. Trade visitors from eastern and central African countries are invited, including regional trade organizations from Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda, Somalia, Mozambique, and Zaire. 80%-85% of exhibitors come from abroad, and 85% of exhibitors are satisfied with the exhibition's effectiveness. In just three days, the transaction volume reached $21 million. This year, the organizing unit directly invited almost all auto parts traders from Central and East Africa. Due to the small number of Chinese companies currently participating, the results have been quite ideal, and the Chinese exhibition area has always been beloved by local buyers, receiving full attention during the exhibition period. Because of Kenya’s poor road conditions and its primarily used-car market, there is a significant demand for auto parts. With the rapid economic development in recent years, this East African country has shed the label of an impoverished African nation, and the demand for new vehicles, especially pickups and trucks, continues to grow.
