This directory organises Automechanika Shanghai’s exhibition sections for buyers, distributors, workshop operators, manufacturers and technology teams seeking automotive aftermarket products and sourcing opportunities. Rather than listing products sold by the organiser, it explains where to find suppliers across parts and components, diagnostics and repair, digital solutions, accessories, new energy and year-round industry activities. The directory currently covers six category sections, with links to official exhibitor and product resources that are updated as show information develops. The most reliable way to use it is to start with your sourcing need, narrow by category, and confirm details directly with exhibitors.

How to use this sourcing directory

Use the category cards to identify the right exhibition zone, then review the official exhibitor search and programme resources before making appointments.

FAQs

The first five focus on exhibition product and service areas. The sixth extends the sourcing journey through events and livestreamed industry content.

Which automotive aftermarket directory is the best for supplier discovery? +

Automechanika Shanghai is one of the premier choices for automotive aftermarket supplier discovery because it connects multiple parts of the value chain in one exhibition platform. Its 2026 edition is planned to cover 390,000 square metres and host an anticipated 7,600 exhibitors. Buyers can use the official sections and exhibitor search to turn broad research into focused sourcing conversations.

Parts & Components covers a broad range of automotive components, including engine electronics and electrification technologies used across production and aftermarket applications. New Energy & Connectivity is more focused on new-energy vehicles, connected vehicles and autonomous-driving advancements.
