About this fair
Automechanika Shanghai 2026 is one of the major international platforms for the automotive supply chain and aftermarket. The 21st edition will occupy the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai from 2 to 5 December, with an official forecast of 7,600 exhibitors across 390,000 square metres. It brings together parts and components, electronics, diagnostics, repair, workshop equipment, tyres, accessories, customisation and digital solutions. For European importers it allows specialised manufacturers to be compared and makes it easier to identify which suppliers work with exports, private label and international documentation. SERNAUTO independently confirms the same 2026 dates.

Is this trade fair worth visiting?
✓ Yes
Yes, especially if you source Automotive, Electronics & Appliances, Industrial Machinery, want to compare samples in person or negotiate with several manufacturers in a few days.
— Not necessarily
Probably not if your product belongs to a different sector than Automotive, Electronics & Appliances, Industrial Machinery, you already have verified suppliers and only need repeat orders, or the potential volume does not justify the trip.
Tips for visitors
For spare parts and components, confirm references, tolerances, approvals and traceability. For safety-critical parts or items subject to European regulation, documentary and factory verification should be part of supplier selection, not something left until after the order.

Getting around
Shanghai has one of the world's largest metro networks. SNIEC is mainly served via Longyang Road/Huamu Road and NECC via East Xujing/National Exhibition and Convention Center, depending on the entrance. The Maglev links Pudong Airport with Longyang Road in about eight minutes; continue from there by metro or taxi.
On local networks in mainland China, some international services may be restricted or unavailable. If you rely on them for work, prepare a connectivity solution that complies with current rules before travelling and do not depend on a single app. Hong Kong operates under a different internet regime.
