Ningbo International Auto Parts and Aftermarket Exhibition

The Value of Exhibiting at the Ningbo International Automotive Parts Exhibition (CAPAFAIR)

• China’s only export-oriented trade show for automotive parts and the aftermarket. Leveraging Ningbo’s trillion-yuan automotive industry cluster, port logistics, and robust foreign trade infrastructure, the exhibition aims to help manufacturers expand into domestic and international markets. As a flagship event in Asia’s auto parts sector, its scale rivals that of Automechanika Shanghai, far surpassing other similar domestic exhibitions. Supported by Ningbo’s 5,000 automotive parts enterprises, an annual output value exceeding RMB 200 billion, and the world-leading throughput of the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, it has established a “24-hour global connectivity” trade network. For businesses, participation serves as a strategic gateway to connect with premium global suppliers and gain insights into industry trends.
• Comprehensive coverage of six major industry segments, with precise export-oriented matching. Exhibits span all key areas, including automotive components and assemblies (engines, brakes, chassis, etc.), automotive electrical and electronic systems (in-vehicle electronics, batteries, control units), automotive accessories and modifications (interior and exterior trim, maintenance products, tuning parts), digital and intelligent systems (autonomous driving, connected car technologies), repair, inspection, and maintenance equipment (workshop tools, diagnostic devices), as well as processing technologies and machinery (molds, industrial robots, lightweight materials). Over 90% of exhibitors hold direct export qualifications, showcasing everything from traditional components to cutting-edge new-energy three-electric systems, fully highlighting the industry’s innovative achievements and export capabilities.
• Access to a global pool of buyers, delivering outstanding international procurement results. As an export-driven platform, the 2025 edition attracted 27,932 professional buyers from 78 countries and regions, including 6,405 foreign trade professionals (foreign buyers, import-export companies, cross-border e-commerce operators) and 758 overseas purchasers. Purchasing delegations from Belt and Road nations such as Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan, Yemen, and Uzbekistan grew significantly. A French buyer, attending for the fourth consecutive year, praised the exhibition’s scale comparable to Automechanika Frankfurt and its rich supplier base. The event provides exhibitors with an efficient channel to secure overseas orders and optimize global supply chains.
• Building a cross-border e-commerce hub leveraging Ningbo’s golden reputation in foreign trade. As one of the nation’s earliest pilot cities for cross-border e-commerce, Ningbo hosts over 20,000 cross-border e-commerce enterprises. The exhibition has established a dedicated cross-border e-commerce service zone, where platforms such as eBay, AliExpress, and Made-in-China.com set up on-site booths to provide in-depth analysis of global trends and operational strategies for auto parts. In 2026, the exhibition will feature a special “Cross-Border E-Commerce Comprehensive Service Zone,” offering SMEs one-stop support services, including overseas warehousing and payment settlement.
• Six authoritative professional forums empowering businesses to overcome challenges in overseas expansion. Concurrent forum activities address core issues such as new energy, cross-border e-commerce, overseas expansion of auto parts, and integration of online and offline channels, characterized by “dense content and practical relevance.” The “Forum on the Development of New Energy Vehicle and Parts Manufacturing” outlines clear growth paths for local enterprises, while the Cross-Border Practical Forum dissects market research, platform selection, and logistics distribution processes, helping companies “start from scratch” in international trade. Industry experts and platform representatives share real-world experiences, drawing thousands of attendees and turning these forums into vital vehicles for knowledge empowerment.
