Ningbo, August 12, 2026 – Today, the global automotive parts industry once again turned its eyes to Ningbo, China, as the CAPAFAIR 2026 Ningbo International Auto Parts Expo grandly opened at the Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center.The expo grandly opened, with visitors from around the world pouring into the exhibition halls to explore.At the Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center, the expo covers an area of 51,650 square meters, filling Halls 1–8 to capacity, with 2,066 participating companies – a record high in the event's history! 👏👏👏The exhibition site was packed with crowds, with Chinese and international faces gathering together.High foot traffic, high-precision matchmaking, and high-efficiency business connections – ensuring that every exhibitor and buyer finds their visit truly worthwhile.As an export-oriented trade fair for automotive parts and the aftermarket, CAPAFAIR 2026 leverages Ningbo's strategic advantages as a "port connecting the world," its solid manufacturing base, and its mature foreign trade ecosystem. The expo effectively bridges domestic and international markets through a dual-circulation business model, attracting a large number of automotive parts buyers from across the globe.Despite the impact of Typhoon, which has left high-speed rail and flight services in some regions yet to resume, the expo has maintained its popularity on par with the previous edition. According to statistics, the number of professional visitors on the first day reached 18,289, roughly the same as the opening day of the last edition, with a higher proportion of trade professionals. Among them, 661 overseas buyers attended on Day 1, a significant increase in their share, and international visitors were visible throughout the venue.△The exhibition halls are filled with energy, with a lively buzz of negotiations and conversation, creating a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere.Domestic buyers showed great enthusiasm, with trade professionals from Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong, Shanghai, Shandong, Anhui, and other provinces – including import/export companies, cross-border e-commerce platforms, and aftermarket distributors/wholesalers/dealers – arriving in droves. They actively engaged with exhibitors to explore industry trends and seek cooperation opportunities.Overseas buyers also responded enthusiastically. A total of 661 purchasers from over 100 countries and regions, including India, the UAE, Egypt, Yemen, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Nepal, Afghanistan, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Russia, Qatar, the United States, Uzbekistan, Thailand, Turkey, Australia, and more, toured the eight halls to engage in technical and commercial exchanges, further enhancing the expo's international reach.Jackie Anderson and Charles Anderson from Australia shared their thoughts: "The exhibition is enormous, with so many participating companies. That gives us more options to compare on-site and find the right partners. Offline exhibitions offer advantages that online sourcing simply cannot match – we can see the products first-hand, understand the craftsmanship, and communicate face-to-face with suppliers."Meanwhile, Rehman Habib from the UAE told us: "This is my first time attending the Ningbo Auto Parts Expo, and it's a very large-scale event. China's auto parts market is highly mature, which makes it very convenient and beneficial for international buyers like us."The eight fully booked halls bring together 2,066 quality exhibitors from across China, each presenting their flagship technologies and unique expertise with great sincerity. Walking through the eight halls, visitors are met with a palpable sense of innovation; you can't help but marvel at how vibrant and upward-moving the auto parts industry truly is!Prominent industry players – including Han's Laser, Phoenix Filter, eBay, Focus Technology, Xinyuan Chemical, Defu Steering, Digital Grand, Xintongshi, Shengliyang, Mingzhou, Tiancheng Seals, Tongchema, Yinlong, Ruifeng, Huaxin, Ousida, Aojiade, Zhongling, Hengdi, Xingjie, Jinyang, Ruidi, Hongwei, Tianchao, Zhenghong, Boye, Zhengpai Kedi, Ruisai, and many others – have gathered at this event, creating a brilliant constellation of industry leaders.More than 100,000 exhibits span the entire automotive parts value chain, covering components and assemblies, electrical and electronic systems, automotive accessories and tuning, new energy and lightweighting, maintenance and service equipment, and processing technologies and machinery – a comprehensive and impressive showcase.”A representative from a Shandong-based auto parts manufacturer commented: "This is my third time attending the Ningbo International Auto Parts Expo. There are noticeably more buyers than in previous years. This morning alone, we've exchanged contact information with quite a few potential clients, and things are looking good so far."As a major event for the auto parts sector, CAPAFAIR serves as a vital platform for trend exchange and resource sharing. A rich lineup of concurrent activities, focused on exploring strategies for overseas market expansion, drew large audiences and became a core highlight of the expo!The "Efficiently Building a Safe Cross-Border Supply Chain for Auto Parts Companies" forum addressed key topics including supply chain security, overseas compliance, and export certification, helping companies build safe, compliant, and sustainable cross-border supply chains. The "Automotive and Auto Parts Brand Globalization 2.0 – Global Automotive Supply Chain Restructuring and the Internationalization Path of Parts Companies" forum provided a strategic discussion and resource matching platform for parts manufacturers, enabling them to seize opportunities amid global supply chain realignment.Tomorrow (August 13), two more major forums will take place, continuing to unlock new industry trends and opportunities, helping auto parts companies break through development bottlenecks and capture global market dividends at full speed.CAPAFAIR 2026's powerful platform effect brings together the entire auto parts industry chain, helping companies secure supply, reduce costs, strengthen supply chains, and fill critical gaps – injecting strong momentum into the industry's high-quality development. With so much to see, this article can only cover so much – we invite you to explore more in person!The expo has only two days left! Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center (Halls 1–8, full venue) – we look forward to welcoming you!

Today marks the Beginning of Autumn (Liqiu). The summer heat fades, yet the "heat wave" in the stationery industry keeps rising.Back‑to‑school procurement, holiday stocking, corporate purchasing… multiple demand streams are converging. The global stationery market is entering a new phase of vibrant trade activity.How does the “small but beautiful” stationery sector win big markets? These five trends are worth watching.01 Original DesignIn April this year, KACO extended its collaboration with the National Museum of China, drawing inspiration from the “Empress Xiaoduan’s Phoenix Crown” to launch the “Feng Jiujiu” plush gel pen, alongside a stationery set inspired by Sanxingdui patterns. Earlier this year, Hefei Caiyang Stationery developed original products such as panda‑themed glitter notebooks, Shanhaijing mythical creature washi tapes, and twelve‑animal stamp erasers, all of which received wide acclaim.Through “IP co‑branding + Guochao (national‑trend) innovation”, stationery is evolving from a mere “functional tool” into a “cultural carrier”. Brand building has no shortcuts – it often takes generations, even longer, to mature. To build international brands, the stationery industry must embrace the slow path with unwavering resolve. As original designs gradually emerge in the public eye, a splendid “hundred flowers bloom” moment is bound to come.02 Quality ManufacturingIn April this year, Kayou Stationery’s self‑developed KAYOU+ series high‑precision mechanical drawing pencils won multiple product design awards, including the Red Dot Design Award. Anhui Tuqiang Stationery started with a single eraser, developed eco‑friendly material formulas in‑house, and now exports to over 80% of countries and regions worldwide – earning the title “China’s Eraser King”. Ningbo Shenlan Stationery has achieved annual sales of 500 million markers, with its core moat being washable pigment formulas and smart manufacturing production lines.From OEM to own‑brand going global, what these companies share is turning quality from a cost item into a trust asset. Global buyers’ trust in “Made in China” is shifting from “cost‑performance” to “quality‑performance”.03 Emotional ConsumptionAs the traditional stationery market approaches saturation, tapping into emotional value has become the key to breaking new ground. At the 2026 autumn back‑to‑school ordering fairs, stress‑relief and healing stationery took centre stage. M&G launched “Pain Pens” that allow users to freely accessorise with charms; Xiehe Wenchuang’s “Cat Pai Pai” series has ranked first in store sales for three consecutive years, with annual growth of 30%‑50%. Ningbo Yisida Board Games turned Harry Potter, Marvel and other IPs into new stress‑relief favourites, with exports exceeding RMB 48 million in the first four months, up 66.7% year‑on‑year.Every piece of stationery is more than a tool – it is a companion, a healing desk buddy. An eraser you can squeeze when frustrated, a journal you can quietly paste into for half an hour – stress relief, healing, social currency – stationery is becoming an outlet for emotions.04 AI in OfficeThe biggest change in the stationery sector this year is AI moving from the “concept zone” to the office desk. In May, Hanwang Technology launched the “Digital Stationery New Species” – the Hanwang Notepad M6, introducing the concept of “national‑grade AI digital stationery”. This device combines recording, handwriting, and reading in one form, supports real‑time translation in 51 languages, and generates structured meeting minutes with one click after a meeting ends. That same month, iFLYTEK released the Air 3 Smart Office Notebook, equipped with an e‑ink screen and a local AI office engine.Digital stationery is accelerating towards “hardware intelligence, functional integration, and ecosystem openness”. When a pen gains “thinking” ability, where does the path lie for traditional stationery companies? Technology can iterate, but the warmth of handwriting never goes out of style. AI will not replace stationery – it will only redefine it, offering a new stage for those who dare to embrace change.05 Global Sourcing – The World’s Stationery Community Is GatheringThe world looks to China for stationery; China looks to Ningbo!At the 2026 Ningbo International Stationery Fair, 1,134 overseas buyers from 96 countries and regions visited over the three‑day event – including India, Taiwan (China), Hong Kong (China), South Korea, Russia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Japan, Indonesia, Turkey, Vietnam, the United States, Brazil, France, Mexico, and more. Buyers came from both major developed economies and emerging markets alike.And it’s not just buyers taking action – Ningbo’s “export infrastructure” for stationery is upgrading in tandem.Known as the “Capital of China’s Stationery Industry”, Ningbo is the country’s largest production and export base for stationery. It is home to more than 2,500 stationery companies, including leading players like Deli, Guangbo, Cre8, Beifa, M&G (Meibo), Kangda, and Tianhong, which drive manufacturing development and foreign trade. Beyond production capacity, “export channels” are continuously expanding. In 2025, Ningbo Zhoushan Port handled over 1.4 billion tonnes of cargo, ranking first globally for the 17th consecutive year. Ningbo Customs simultaneously rolled out 12 measures for cross‑border e‑commerce exports, streamlining customs clearance and fostering business growth – clearing the “last mile” for stationery going global.However, competition in global sourcing is essentially a race for time – whoever reaches quality suppliers first and secures capacity earliest gains the upper hand in the market. And offline exhibitions remain the most efficient “centralised matching” scenario. As the old saying goes, “One leaf falls, and you know autumn is here.” For today’s stationery professionals, one fair tells the state of the market.2027 Ningbo International Stationery FairMarch 25‑27, 2027Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition CentreThe annual rendezvous for the global stationery community – everything you are looking for is right here!Ningbo Stationery FairDedicated to the industry for 23 years, providing an efficient trading platform for stationery trade.Pre‑registration is now fully open.Register online for free before the show.From 00:00 on March 25, 2027, on‑site registration will incur a fee of RMB 50 per person.

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 been deeply rooted in 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. In August, we sincerely invite auto parts professionals from around the world to gather in Ningbo and explore new business opportunities together.”The 2026 Ningbo International Auto Parts Exhibition is just around the corner.

In the silicon-based era, the stationery and book industry faces challenges from demand substitution, technological upgrades, and business model reinvention.

Along the coast of the East China Sea, the spring tide is surging.In just over ten days, the attention of the global stationery community will once again focus on Ningbo, on the grand stationery event to be held from March 25 to 27 at the Ningbo International Conference and Exhibition Center — the Ningbo International Stationery Fair 2026.In the “Capital of Chinese Stationery,” this industry event will appear on an unprecedented scale with 64,000 square meters of exhibition area, 1,872 exhibitors, and hundreds of thousands of stationery products. It is sending an invitation to the world. This is the annual appointment between Ningbo and the global stationery community, and also the best window to observe the transformation and evolution of the global stationery industry.Gathering of Thousands of Exhibitors — How Can It Carry Global ExpectationsThe Ningbo International Stationery Fair 2026will reach a new record scale, utilizing Halls H1–H8 of the Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center, the connecting corridor, and outdoor halls H9, H11, H16, and H57. From the initial single exhibition hall to the simultaneous opening of twelve halls today, the expansion history of the Ningbo International Stationery Fair is in fact a microcosm of the growth of China’s stationery industry. The 7% increase in scale compared with the previous edition, expanding the exhibition area to 64,000 square meters, represents not only an expansion of physical space, but also deeper integration of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. Behind the data lies the enthusiasm of the industry.

Innovation Empowerment — How Can It Support the Industry Landscape If scale is the skeleton of an exhibition, then exhibits are its soul. In recent years, the Ningbo International Stationery Fair has continuously broken the stereotype that “stationery equals pens and notebooks” by establishing the “Art Materials,  Cultural Creative and Educational Zone,” the “Processing Equipment and Components Zone,” and by organizing new product launch events. At this year’s exhibition, traditional categories such as writing instruments, office supplies, paper products and art supplies will remain the core sectors, while emerging tracks such as cultural creative trendy toys and emotional healing products are rapidly rising, forming a “stationery universe” with a full‑category layout. What will you see when you step into the exhibition halls?Stress‑relief squeeze toys designed in the shape of bread and hamburgers waiting for tired hands to flatten and knead them; stationery products co‑branded with popular IPs such as Nezha and Capybara, using familiar images to evoke emotional resonance; trendy products following the concept that “everything can be a blind box,” creating surprises the moment they are opened; cultural creative products from major scenic spots and museums that are often hard to obtain, allowing cultural memory to have a tangible carrier; as well as impressive new products such as AI creative tools and intelligent writing devices. The collision between tradition and technology is redefining the possibilities of “stationery.”This year’s exhibition will continue and upgrade the First Launch series of activities.

In addition, activities such as the “2026 Douyin E‑commerce Cultural and Educational Industry Trend Report,” the “China Stationery Industry Standardization and Asia‑Pacific Alliance Standards Practice Training Conference,” and the launch of the “Ningbo Stationery Industry Foreign Trade Compliance Guidelines” will also be held.
