The fair saw unparalleled participation, welcoming 253,691 visitors from 190 countries and regions through its doors. This marks a 14 percent increase compared to the previous year. Visitors represented the entire automotive supply chain with an even higher presence of OE and tier one companies covering technology, research, and procurement. The merging highlights the show’s role in nurturing collaboration.
At the same time, a record-breaking 7,465 companies, hailing from 44 countries and regions, showcased the latest products, services and technologies.
This news follows as the fair’s expansion across various sectors kept pace with the evolving landscape. Notably, the New Energy & Connectivity and the Tyre & Wheel sectors both grew by 50 percent, while exhibition space in Parts & Components also increased by 10 percent. Other sectors including Electrics & Electronics, Accessories, Customising, Repair & Diagnostics / Body & Paint, Tyres & Wheels, and Digital Solutions / Services, collectively covered the entire supply chain with around 40 percent of exhibitors across the fairground also offering products for the new energy vehicle market. Feedback reflects an appreciation for the inclusion of car brands and their supply chain companies across the show floor, as attendees recognised the diverse sourcing opportunities this created for both new and traditional vehicle types.
The fair also offered its most comprehensive fringe programme yet with 94 fringe events, featuring over 450 speakers explaining how the industrial chain, integration and collaboration, in addition to policies and regulations, are shaping the automotive environment. It brought together experts from around the world with the range and focus of knowledge to address both current and future needs of the automotive industry.
For example, the International Automotive Industry Conference 2025 Presented by Automechanika Shanghai – CEO Summit gathered industry leaders to share insights about the future of the industry. In the same way, activities across Innovation4Mobility, Customising x Tech and Green Repair Area were hotspots for industry players to learn, discuss, and demonstrate advancements in mobility and the aftermarket.
Automechanika Shanghai also partnered with numerous media outlets from China, in addition to Argentina, Australia, Austria, Finland, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, the UAE, the UK, the US and more to circulate exhibition highlights and discuss trends.
As a result, in this largest edition to date, participant feedback indicates an appreciation of the show’s international networks, as well as the breadth and depth of resources across the industry. The convergence greatly contributed to a successful industry gathering, with a refreshed sense of connection, exchange, and trade opportunities for the year ahead.
