Ningbo International Automotive Parts and Aftermarket Exhibition

The Exhibition Value of the Ningbo International Auto Parts Fair (CAPAFAIR)

• China’s only export‑driven trade show for automotive components and the aftermarket. Leveraging Ningbo’s trillion‑yuan automotive industry cluster, its port‑logistics network, and its robust foreign‑trade infrastructure, the fair is dedicated to helping manufacturers expand both domestic and international markets. As a flagship event in Asia’s auto‑parts sector, it ranks second only to the Frankfurt Shanghai Auto Parts Show and far surpasses other similar exhibitions in China. Supported by Ningbo’s 5,000 automotive component enterprises—collectively generating an annual output value exceeding RMB 200 billion—and by the world‑leading logistics capabilities of the Ningbo–Zhoushan Port, the fair has established a “24‑hour global connectivity” trade network. For companies, participation offers a strategic gateway to connect with high‑quality global suppliers and gain insights into emerging trends in the auto‑parts industry.
• A comprehensive showcase of six major industry segments, with precision‑targeted export‑oriented matchmaking. Exhibits span six core categories: automotive parts and assemblies (engines, brakes, chassis, etc.), automotive electrical and electronic systems (vehicle electronics, batteries, electronic control units), automotive accessories and customization (interior and exterior trim, maintenance products, tuning components), digital and intelligent systems (autonomous driving, connected‑car technologies), repair, inspection, and maintenance equipment (workshop tools, diagnostic devices), and manufacturing technologies and equipment (molds, industrial robots, lightweight materials). Over 90% of exhibitors hold direct export qualifications, presenting a full spectrum of innovations and export‑ready solutions—from traditional components to next‑generation electric‑vehicle powertrains.
• An unparalleled gathering of global buyers, delivering outstanding results in international procurement. As an export‑focused platform, the 2025 edition attracted 27,932 professional buyers from 78 countries and regions, including 6,405 foreign‑trade professionals—such as overseas investors, import‑export firms, and cross‑border e‑commerce players—and 758 overseas purchasers. Notably, purchasing delegations from Belt and Road nations—including Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan, Yemen, and Uzbekistan—experienced significant growth. French buyers attended for the fourth consecutive year, praising the fair’s scale, which rivals that of the Frankfurt show, and its diverse supplier base. The event provides exhibitors with an efficient pathway to secure overseas orders and optimize their global supply chains.
• Building on Ningbo’s reputation as a premier foreign‑trade hub, the fair serves as a thriving center for cross‑border e‑commerce. As one of China’s first pilot cities for cross‑border e‑commerce, Ningbo hosts more than 20,000 such enterprises. The fair features a dedicated Cross‑Border E‑Commerce Service Zone, where platforms like 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 categories. In 2026, the fair will introduce a Comprehensive Cross‑Border E‑Commerce Service Area, offering SMEs one‑stop support services, including overseas warehousing and payment settlement solutions.
• Six specialized forums deliver authoritative expertise, addressing key challenges faced by companies expanding internationally. Concurrent with the exhibition, a series of forums will focus on critical topics such as new energy vehicles, cross‑border e‑commerce, overseas expansion of auto‑parts businesses, and the integration of online and offline channels. These forums are characterized by their practical, actionable content. The “New Energy Vehicle and Components Manufacturing Development Forum” outlines clear pathways for local enterprises, while the Cross‑Border Practical Forum breaks down the entire process—from market research and platform selection to logistics and delivery—helping companies establish a foothold in foreign markets. Industry experts and platform representatives share real‑world insights, drawing thousands of participants and cementing these forums as vital conduits for knowledge‑driven empowerment.
