Organisers said that, at its core, AAG served as a gateway for domestic brands to expand globally, connecting them to Southeast Asia and the global automotive aftermarket. By offering innovative products and solutions, the trade fair’s exhibitors drew “high praise” from its visitors. On top of that, strong participation from visitors, which included 48 buyer delegations, represented strong confidence and momentum within the sector.
The Parts & Components Zone, notably, hosted established brands and emerging market players to present innovations in chassis and suspensions, braking systems, engines, and hybrid propulsion systems. The Accessories & Customising / Automobile Service Zone featured modification products for off-roading, car-camping gear, internal and external customisation, parts for performance upgrades, heat-shielding protection films, and specialised NEV care products, highlighting South China’s demand for personalised upgrades, outdoor lifestyle products, and car care solutions. In the Remanufacturing Zone, sustainability became the key issue, with the exhibitors showcasing their commitment to lower carbon emissions.
Besides the exhibition, AAG 2026 featured 36 fringe events, including customised vehicle showcases, business matching sessions, and panel discussions, which gathered professionals and academics to share insights on the industry’s future. Additionally, the expanded UTS Customising Salon area hosted a range of immersive experiences.
AAG is jointly organised by Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd and China National Machinery Industry International Co Ltd. The next edition of the show is set to be held from August 19 to 21, 2027.
