Overview of APES 2026

The APES Auto Parts Expo Shanghai 2026 is set to take place from August 5 to 7, 2026, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Shanghai, China. This expansive event is touted as China's premier auto parts trade fair aimed at the global market. With over 2,000 verified manufacturers participating, the expo covers a vast area of 60,000 square meters and is expected to attract more than 35,000 professional visitors from 60 different countries.

One of the main highlights of APES 2026 is the direct access it provides to buyers looking to procure products directly from manufacturers, eliminating middlemen and allowing purchasers to benefit from pure manufacturer pricing. This setup maximizes the margins for buyers and streamlines the procurement process. More than 1,000 new products will be launched at the event, making it a must-attend for industry professionals.

Diverse Product Categories

The expo will feature eight major categories that encompass the entire supply chain:
1. Chassis, Engines, and Electrical Components (50%)
2. Transmission/Drivetrain and Body Parts (20%)
3. Spare Parts (15%)
4. Air Conditioning Units (8%)
5. New Energy Vehicle Components (7%)

Additionally, for the first time, 12 industrial clusters will be showcased. For example, Yuhuan specializes in chassis and engine systems, while Ruian focuses on electrical and chassis components. Qinghe is known for its filters, and companies like Wenzhou provide electronics and precision components, among many others.

The “Gold Chain Awards”

During the expo, APES will also collaborate with QPZONE to present the “Gold Chain Awards.” This initiative will help foreign buyers efficiently identify key players in the Chinese auto parts supply chain. The awards will be divided into three categories:

• - Leading Auto Parts Manufacturers in China
• - Leading Auto Parts Integrators in China
• - Leading Auto Parts Service Providers in China

Each category features a selection of 100 representatives who cover the spectrum from research and development to production and quality control, integration expertise, and logistics solutions for global expansion efforts.

Exclusive Benefits for Buyers

APES offers exclusive group benefits for buyers attending the expo. Groups of two will be entitled to two complimentary nights of accommodation and preferred access to factory tours. Additionally, larger groups consisting of five or more members will receive a complimentary airport transfer upon arrival and departure.
