The 11th edition of Auto Aftermarket Guangzhou has opened with a larger exhibition footprint and higher exhibitor numbers, reflecting continued expansion in China’s aftermarket manufacturing base. Alongside the show floor, accompanying conferences are addressing export challenges facing Chinese suppliers, as well as the growing role of intelligent and connected technologies within aftermarket product development.
The event covers both new energy vehicle and internal combustion engine parts, signalling that ICE components, including braking systems, remain a significant focus for Chinese manufacturers despite the shift towards electrification. Sessions on export barriers are likely to touch on tariffs, compliance documentation and market access issues that directly affect overseas buyers.
For European importers and distributors sourcing brake components from China, this event offers a useful gauge of supplier capacity, pricing trends and emerging quality standards. Those with sourcing or QC operations in the region may find the export-focused conference sessions particularly relevant when reviewing supplier relationships and compliance requirements ahead of upcoming trade cycles.
