Five Pak producers feature in Istanbul Motorbike Fair

LAHORE:Five Pakistani producers of motorbike parts participated in Istanbul Motorbike Fair under the auspices of Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) from March 12 to 15, 2025. Consul General of Pakistan Noman Aslam and other staff also played a key role for the participation of Pakistani producers in the fair.

Last year, TDAP participated with three firms related to rubber tires and tubes for motorbike sub-sectors, while this year the products exhibited at Motorbike 2025 include rubber tires and tubes, protective sports gloves, motorbike suits and footwear, etc.

Over the past three years, the number of motorcycles in Turkiye has increased significantly while motor sports have also seen an increase, thus providing a good opportunity for Pakistani exporting companies to produce related products at this exhibition to increase market access in Turkey.

The exhibition attracted a large number of foreign buyers from Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Central Asia, providing Pakistani companies with an opportunity to interact with them and explore export opportunities in other markets.
