The 98th National Auto Parts Fair Grandly Held in Jinan; the 99th Session to Be Held in Chongqing in May 2026

Hosted jointly by the China Machinery Industry Federation, China National Machinery International Cooperation Co., Ltd., and China National Automobile Industry Parts Sales Co., Ltd., the 98th National Auto Parts Fair was successfully held at the Shandong International Convention and Exhibition Center from October 18 to 20, 2025. As a major event in the industry, this session once again built an efficient communication and procurement platform for the global auto parts industry.

The scale of this Auto Parts Fair reached a new high. It utilized five exhibition halls and the central corridor of the Shandong International Convention and Exhibition Center, covering an exhibition area of 60,000 square meters. It attracted nearly 2,000 enterprises to participate and set up nearly 3,000 booths, with more than 30,000 professional auto parts buyers gathering in Jinan. With the characteristics of a full industrial chain and one-stop service, the fair presented a rich industry feast for global buyers and professional visitors.

It is worth mentioning that this is the 5th time the National Auto Parts Fair has been held in Jinan. This achievement stems from the mutual trust and win-win cooperation between the two parties, and also fully demonstrates Jinan's strong attractiveness as an important commercial and logistics center in North China and its profound industrial foundation in auto parts. The fair site was extremely popular, with a huge crowd in the exhibition halls. Auto parts manufacturers, distributors, buyers and industry experts from all over the country gathered together to witness this industry event.

The participating enterprises covered a wide range of fields, including commercial vehicle/passenger vehicle parts, auto supplies, auto maintenance equipment, new energy products and other categories, focusing on displaying the latest technological achievements and product innovations in the industry. Beyond the scale and popularity, this session also had two prominent highlights: the first-time establishment of a "New Energy Exhibition Area" focusing on the new direction of green development in the industry; and the continuation of the "Overseas Negotiation Area" set up in the previous session to help enterprises expand into the international market. The internal and external exhibition area layout accurately targets the two major development themes of the industry - "new momentum" and "new market", demonstrating the organizer's far-reaching layout to lead industrial upgrading.

The collective appearance of representatives from domestic and foreign business associations also became a striking focus of this fair. A number of authoritative domestic and foreign industry organizations gathered on site, including the China Auto Modification Products Association, the Aftermarket Branch of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Beijing Auto Parts Chamber of Commerce, the Shandong Auto Parts Chamber of Commerce, the Shandong Heavy Duty Truck Parts Association, the Shandong Auto Maintenance Equipment Association, the Jinan Heavy Duty Auto Parts Association, the Automobile and Motorcycle Parts Industry Chamber of Commerce of Linyi Federation of Industry and Commerce, the Shiyan Auto and Auto Parts Chamber of Commerce, the Anyang Auto Service Industry Chamber of Commerce, and the Baotou Automobile and Motorcycle Parts Chamber of Commerce. This diversified pattern, led by national - level associations, participated by international business associations and linked by local business associations, has built an unprecedented high - end cooperation network for the participating enterprises, helping them accurately position themselves in the new industry pattern.

During the fair, a total of six large - scale conferences and negotiation activities were held. With forward - looking topics and accurate connection, they deeply analyzed the core topics of the entire industrial chain from going global to digitalization, and from commercial vehicles to maintenance services. Specifically, they included the 12th China Auto Aftermarket Transformation and Upgrading Summit Forum (Theme: Win - Win in the Aftermarket Industry Chain and Explore the Overseas Auto Parts Market), the Breaking the Dilemma · Symbiosis - Globalization × Digitalization Driven New Growth of Auto Parts - Commercial Vehicle Aftermarket (Jinan) Empowerment Conference, the 8th China Auto Aftermarket Platform Innovation Forum, the New Momentum · New Service · New Growth - 2025 China Auto Aftermarket Leaders Summit, the Cross - border Integration · Reconstructing Boundaries - 2025 Auto Aftermarket Industry Summit Forum, and the 7th National Auto Maintenance Festival, as well as a series of rich and colorful forums and lectures.
