Automechanika Shanghai 2025 Expands Scope with Full Venue Use

Automechanika Shanghai, one of the world’s largest automotive trade shows, is set to run at full capacity in 2025, occupying all 15 halls of the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) for the first time. Scheduled from 26–29 November, the event will feature expanded zones for new energy, digital services, tyres, and commercial vehicles, with over 7,000 exhibitors expected.

Growth in Strategic Sectors

Organisers Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) and Sinomachint are forecasting growth across several high-interest areas:

• The New Energy & Connectivity sector will expand by 50%, reaching 39,000 sqm. It will cover advanced systems for EVs and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, including battery, motor, electric control, charging, swapping, storage, and intelligent driving technologies.
• The Tyres & Wheels area will also see a 50% increase in space, creating more room for companies to present tyre technology innovations and connected solutions.
• Over 60% of exhibitors are expected to showcase commercial vehicle-related products and services.

These expansions reflect wider shifts in automotive R&D and manufacturing as electrification and digitisation reshape product lines and supply chains.

Digitalisation and New Business Models

A dedicated Digital Services & Solutions zone will highlight new business models and tech applications aimed at driving efficiency across the aftermarket. This includes connected service tools, AI diagnostics, and predictive maintenance platforms.

Fringe events will increase to 80 sessions, covering topics such as:

• Electrification and intelligent transformation
• Sustainable development and circular economy
• Talent development for Gen Z and future mobility workforces
• Policy and trade discussions linked to global supply chain shifts

Industry Conferences to Address Key Challenges

The 2025 edition will again host the International Automotive Industry Conference, exploring regulatory changes, market dynamics, and how global trends are influencing China’s role in the industry.

Also on the agenda is the International Automotive Industry Talent Development Conference, focusing on professional training and skills pipelines needed to support industry evolution.
