From Ningbo to the World – 2,029 Exhibitors and Buyers from Over 100 Countries Answer CAPAFAIR’s “Go‑Global” Call
The 2026 Ningbo International Auto Parts and Aftermarket Exhibition (CAPAFAIR 2026) will be held from August 12 to 14 at the Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center. As an export‑oriented trade fair for auto parts and aftermarket products, this edition utilises all halls 1–8, covering an area of 51,650 sqm, and has registered 2,029 exhibitors – a 14.3% increase over the previous edition, setting a new all‑time record.Industrial Clusters Join ForcesExhibitor Line‑up Grows in Both Scale and Quality CAPAFAIR 2026 brings together exhibitors from 21 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions. Zhejiang Province leads the country with 914 exhibitors (44.6%), followed by Hebei Province with 464 exhibitors (22.7%). The Ningbo‑Taizhou‑Wenzhou auto parts corridor in the south and the Xingtai‑Cangzhou industrial belt in the north – two of China’s most powerful auto parts super‑clusters – will meet in Ningbo to enable global delivery. Other emerging auto parts regions also feature prominently: Jiangsu (181), Shandong (151), Guangdong (93), Henan (32), Chongqing (22), Liaoning (17), Jiangxi (15), and Hubei (14) collectively complete a full industrial map stretching from the Yangtze River Delta to the Pearl River Delta, and from the Bohai Bay to the west coast of the Taiwan Strait.The exhibitor roster is a constellation of industry leaders and specialised “little giant” enterprises. Pioneers from various sectors – Han’s Laser, Phoenix Filter, eBay, Focus Technology, Xinyuan Chemical, Defu Steering, Digital Fangda, Xintongshi, Shengliyang, Mingzhou, Tiancheng Seals, and many others – will join forces. Returning strong are numerous industry mainstays such as Tongchema, Yinlong, Ruifeng, Huaxin, Ousida, Aojiade, Zhongling, Hengdi, Xingjie, Jinyang, Ruidi, Hongwei, Tianchao, Zhenghong, Boyei, Zhengpai Kedian, Zhongshi, Ruisai, and Jiaze. New product launches, cutting‑edge technologies, and intelligent manufacturing achievements will be showcased on site.Phoenix Filter shared its exhibition plan for this year: “We are focusing on three major product lines – aftermarket wear parts covering the full vehicle range, new long‑life filter series for the year, and specialised filtration products for new energy vehicles. Through CAPAFAIR, we hope to connect with domestic and overseas aftermarket chains and importers, reach the after‑sales procurement departments of independent brand OEMs, and develop regional exclusive distributorships as well as OEM/ODM partnerships.” Regarding expectations, the representative added: “We value CAPAFAIR’s buyer precision and its foreign‑trade orientation. The industrial agglomeration in Ningbo also works to our advantage. For filters, overseas buyers generally prefer to ‘touch the product before ordering’. CAPAFAIR gives us a window to demonstrate our workmanship face‑to‑face and even disassemble and compare with competitors on the spot – that kind of trust‑building is impossible online.”Han’s Laser’s representative noted: “This year we are highlighting laser equipment for auto‑parts‑specific marking, welding, and other processing applications, including 3D marking machines and plastic welding equipment. Through CAPAFAIR, we aim to connect with a vast number of auto parts companies and explore new industry directions.”Six Major Product Categories Cover All NeedsMeeting Diverse Global Procurement Demands The exhibits are divided into six major categories:Parts & ComponentsElectrical & ElectronicsAccessories & TuningNew Energy & LightweightingRepair, Testing & MaintenanceProcessing Technology & EquipmentWith over 100,000 products on display, the show offers a one‑stop sourcing solution for all scenarios – OEM supporting, aftermarket replacement, customisation and upgrade, and factory smart manufacturing.Among them, traditional internal‑combustion engine parts remain the mainstay, covering engines, chassis, braking systems, air conditioning, all types of standard parts and wear parts, with complete ranges and ample supply. Alongside the global shift toward electrification and intelligence, many local traditional auto parts factories are simultaneously expanding into new‑energy supporting fields. New products in three‑electric (battery, motor, electronic control) supporting systems, thermal management, and lightweight structural parts will make their debut, directly demonstrating the hard power of China’s domestic auto parts industry in transformation, upgrading, and high‑end manufacturing.Buyers from Over 100 Countries and Regions GatherUnlocking New Channels for Foreign Trade The impressive line‑up of high‑quality exhibitors continues to attract growing numbers of domestic and international buyers. As of press time, pre‑registered visitors exceed 22,000, of which foreign‑trade buyers – including overseas purchasers, import/export companies, and cross‑border e‑commerce platforms – account for 38%. Domestic buyers cover a wide spectrum, including OEMs and their Tier 1/Tier 2 suppliers, aftermarket agents and distributors, and more. Total on‑site attendance is expected to surpass 40,000.The overseas buyer map covers over 100 countries and regions, including India, UAE, Egypt, Yemen, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Philippines, Nepal, Afghanistan, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Russia, Qatar, USA, Uzbekistan, Thailand, Turkey, Australia, and many others – spanning traditional markets as well as emerging ones in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.One buyer from Mauritius, specialising in Toyota Hiace parts, made a special enquiry: “I have long been dealing in full‑vehicle parts for the Toyota Hiace. I hope to connect with source factories at this exhibition and establish stable, long‑term supply partnerships.” Many other international buyers have also requested the full exhibitor list in advance to pre‑screen suitable suppliers and schedule meetings, thereby improving on‑site procurement efficiency.The organiser provides a range of value‑added services: free cross‑regional shuttle buses, exclusive perks for early pre‑registrants, complimentary on‑site coffee, dedicated business meeting areas, rest and dining zones, as well as emergency medical kits and on‑call doctors – all designed to enhance the experience for both domestic and overseas guests and create a comfortable, efficient business environment.Dual‑Drive “Exhibition + Conference” ModelBuilding a Strong Ecosystem for Cross‑Border Business This year’s event continues the dual‑drive approach of “Exhibition + Forum”, bringing together leading cross‑border platforms such as eBay, Walmart Global eCommerce, Amazon Global Selling, Alibaba International Station, and Made‑in‑China.com to streamline the trade chain from factories directly to overseas end‑users. Industry experts, platform operations heads, and foreign‑trade entrepreneurs will gather for multiple themed activities, offering in‑depth sharing on supply chain security, brand going‑global, cross‑border customer acquisition, and overseas market deployment – creating an integrated ecosystem for auto parts exports that combines exhibition, negotiation, and learning.On the morning of August 12, the Yinzhou Auto Parts International Chamber of Commerce and the Ningbo High‑tech Zone Inspection & Testing Certification Association will host a “Cross‑border Session on Efficiently Building a Safe Supply Chain for Auto Parts Enterprises Going Global”, featuring special talks and on‑site matchmaking on supply chain security, overseas compliance, and export certifications.On the afternoon of August 12, the Ningbo Auto Parts Industry Association (one of the show’s organisers) will hold a forum titled “Auto and Parts Brand Going Global 2.0 – Global Automotive Supply Chain Restructuring and the Internationalisation Path of Parts Enterprises”, helping companies seize opportunities amid global supply chain reconfiguration.On the morning of August 13, Made‑in‑China.com will organise the “Customer Acquisition – New Cross‑border Opportunities in a Changing Landscape” development forum, focusing on pain points and growth opportunities in B2B cross‑border e‑commerce and offering one‑stop go‑global solutions.On the afternoon of August 13, the organisers, together with eBay, Walmart Global eCommerce, Amazon Global Selling, Alibaba International Station, and Yisu Technology, will co‑host a theme forum “Exploring New Paths for Auto Parts Going Global and Empowering New Industry Development”, interpreting platform operation rules and regional market demand differences to help enterprises strategically enter overseas markets.In addition, the show’s online platform – capafair.com – provides year‑round supply‑demand matching services, integrating exhibition, trade, information, and social functions. Its intelligent matching system enables efficient global flow of supply and demand information, creating a model of “online data empowerment + offline scenario implementation” that fosters a mutually beneficial ecosystem through continuous interaction between suppliers and buyers.Ma Bin, Deputy Secretary‑General of the Ningbo Auto Parts Industry Association, commented: “Ningbo boasts a trillion‑yuan automotive industrial cluster and sits next to the world’s largest port, Zhoushan Port. It is a dual hub for domestic auto parts manufacturing and international trade. CAPAFAIR has深耕 the export track for many years, serving as the core professional platform where global buyers directly connect with source factories and local enterprises reach overseas markets.
