China’s emerging, dynamic markets represent great potential for American exporters, and in particular suppliers of automotive components. Yet, these second-tier cities are often overlooked as firms rigorously pursue hubs such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Join the US Commercial Service and the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) for a webinar intended to educate U.S. automotive component suppliers on the promising sales opportunities in China’s dynamic emerging markets, why they are critical to long term market penetration plans, and how to best approach these markets.
