Automechanika Shanghai 2026 - international exhibition of spare parts, automotive components, equipment and products for vehicle maintenance
About the exhibition
Automechanika Shanghai is one of the largest international platforms for the automotive industry and the aftermarket. In 2026, the exhibition will be held for the 21st time and will occupy the entire NECC complex: 390,000 m², 16 pavilions and a mezzanine floor. The organizers expect around 7,600 exhibiting companies.
The exhibition brings together manufacturers of automotive components, suppliers of equipment and technologies, automakers, distributors, service companies, representatives of auto repair shops, engineering and technology companies, buyers and other automotive market professionals. For visitors, this is an opportunity to see how the traditional auto components and aftermarket sector is changing alongside electric vehicles, intelligent transport, service technologies and supply chains.
From aftermarket service to the technologies of future mobility
In 2026, Automechanika Shanghai focuses on three areas: technological innovation, product development and service improvement. This reflects the industry's broader shift from the classic auto components market model to an ecosystem where automotive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, software solutions, robotics, new energy and intelligent mobility increasingly overlap.
This is especially evident in the New Energy & Connectivity segment, which will be allocated around 46,000 m² in 2026. It will feature solutions for electric and hybrid vehicles, intelligent chassis, charging infrastructure, autonomous driving, thermal management systems, and hydrogen and fuel technologies.
Who will find the exhibition especially useful
Automechanika Shanghai is aimed not only at buyers of spare parts and equipment. The exhibition will be relevant for automakers, OEM suppliers, component manufacturers, distributors, service networks and repair shops, developers of automotive electronics and software, specialists in electric vehicles and new energy sources, as well as companies working with diagnostics, repair, tuning, tires and wheels.
The exhibition's particular value lies in the scale of the entire chain: at a single venue, visitors can simultaneously explore solutions for internal combustion engine vehicles, hybrids and electric vehicles, compare traditional and new technologies, and understand how requirements for service, components and infrastructure are changing.
Automotive+ and Innovation4Mobility
One of the key highlights of 2026 will be the Automotive+ concept, which expands the boundaries of the traditional automotive exhibition. It brings the automotive industry together with artificial intelligence, robotics, hardware-software technologies and new energy.
The central venue for this track will be Innovation4Mobility — a specialized zone dedicated to next-generation technologies and intelligent mobility. The official website also highlights the Green Repair Area and the Customising x Auto Tech Area, which complement the exhibition's main technological focus.
Sustainability and the circular economy
Another distinctive feature of Automechanika Shanghai 2026 is its notable emphasis on sustainability. The exhibition is expanding its remanufacturing track and solutions related to the reuse and restoration of components.
The specialized zone will feature technologies for working with traction batteries, electric motors, electronic control systems and thermal management components, as well as solutions for restoring parts for internal combustion engine vehicles. This track shows how the automotive industry is gradually adapting to the principles of the circular economy.
Business program
Over the course of four days, Automechanika Shanghai will host around 100 conferences, forums, seminars and practical sessions. The focus is on the development of the global automotive industry, new technologies, the transformation of the aftermarket, electric vehicles and intelligent mobility, quality, and international cooperation.
