The Value of Participating in the Shanghai Tire and Wheel Expo (CITEXPO)

• Asia-Pacific’s Largest and Most Influential Annual Event for the Tire and Wheel Industry: Since its inception in 2003, the China Shanghai International Tire and Wheel Expo (CITEXPO) has been held twenty times, establishing itself as the largest and most specialized B2B trade platform for tires and wheels in the Asia-Pacific region. Based in Shanghai and reaching out globally, CITEXPO is widely recognized as a barometer of China’s tire industry development and a crucial bridge for Chinese enterprises implementing the Belt and Road Initiative, becoming one of the world’s most prominent platforms for exchange and trade in the tire sector.
• A One-Stop Showcase Covering the Entire Industry Chain: The expo encompasses the full spectrum of the industry, from initial raw materials and machinery used in tire production to finished tire products and after-sales services. Exhibits range from finished tires, wheels, valve stems, tire retreading equipment, tire machinery, raw materials, to R&D and testing devices. From green tires and smart-sensing tires to lightweight wheels, new materials, and innovative designs, exhibitors can seamlessly integrate technology demonstrations, brand exposure, and business negotiations within a single venue.
• Precise Connection with Global Key Buyers and Distribution Channels: In 2025, the expo drew over 15,000 professional visitors from more than 140 countries and regions, with participation from over 400 leading industry players and an exhibition space spanning 40,000 square meters. A significant proportion of attendees were international, with professional buyers hailing from the Middle East, Russia, Southeast Asia, Europe, the Americas, and other major global markets. Exhibitor satisfaction exceeded 95%. Participants gained direct access to some of the world’s most influential importers, distributors, dealers, and trading companies, enabling efficient business matchmaking and market expansion.
• Unique Strategic Value for Chinese Enterprises—Linking to Global Markets: CITEXPO serves as the central platform for Chinese tire companies seeking to sell their products worldwide without leaving the country.
