Shanghai Frankfurt Auto Parts Exhibition 2025

Driving Towards the Future: Shanghai Frankfurt Automotive Parts Exhibition 2025 – Outlining a New Blueprint for the Global Automotive Industry

As the global automotive industry’s transformation wave meets the surging vitality of the Eastern market, a grand event destined to lead industry trends is about to unfold. Shanghai Frankfurt Automotive Parts Exhibition 2025 will be more than just a platform for showcasing products; it will be a strategic hub for understanding trends, stimulating innovation, and reshaping the value chain. Here, we will witness together how the automotive industry is moving from “hardware-defined” to “software-driven,” and driving towards a smarter, greener, and more connected future.

Exhibition Overview: An Unprecedented Industry Extravaganza

As one of Asia’s largest and globally influential automotive industry events, Shanghai Frankfurt Automotive Parts Exhibition 2025 is expected to attract over 5,000 well-known companies from around the world and more than 300,000 professional visitors. The exhibition will occupy all the halls of the Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center, setting a new record for total area. From traditional auto parts, repair and maintenance equipment to cutting-edge intelligent connected and new energy technologies and digital solutions, this exhibition will present a complete and ever-evolving automotive industry ecosystem.

Key Highlights: Focusing on Three Future Tracks

Compared to previous editions, the 2025 exhibition will focus on the following three core tracks, representing the strongest voice of industry transformation:

1. Deep Evolution of Electrification and Sustainable Energy
   Electrification has gone from an option to a necessity. At this exhibition, we will go beyond the simple three-electric system (battery, motor, and electronic control) and see more cutting-edge solutions:

• Ultra-fast charging technology and next-generation batteries: 800V high-voltage platforms will be the mainstream showcase, and new battery technologies such as solid-state batteries and sodium-ion batteries will bring a safer and more efficient driving experience.
• Circular economy and recycling: The cascade utilization, dismantling and recycling technologies and business models for retired power batteries will become new hot topics, demonstrating the industry’s commitment to sustainable development.
• Hydrogen Fuel Cell Industry Chain: From hydrogen production and storage to core fuel cell components, innovative companies in the hydrogen energy sector will showcase their immense potential in specific scenarios such as commercial vehicles.

1. Comprehensive Implementation of Intelligent Connectivity and “Software-Defined Vehicles” The automobile is evolving from a means of transportation into a “mobile intelligent terminal.” This trend will be vividly demonstrated at the exhibition:

• Intelligent Cockpit and Perceptive Interaction: More powerful in-vehicle chips, AR-HUD (Augmented Reality Head-Up Display), and multimodal interaction (voice, gesture, eye tracking) will redefine the human-vehicle relationship.
• Core Components for High-Level Autonomous Driving: Key hardware such as LiDAR, 4D imaging radar, high-precision map and positioning modules, and domain controllers will showcase their latest cost and performance breakthroughs.
• Software and Ecosystem Services: Numerous technology companies will compete alongside traditional Tier 1 suppliers, showcasing their in-vehicle operating systems, application ecosystems, and “Software as a Service” business models, highlighting the true meaning of “software-defined vehicles.”

1. Innovation in Smart Repair and Digital Supply Chains
   Faced with increasingly complex automotive technology, the aftermarket is undergoing a profound digital transformation.

• Predictive Maintenance and Diagnostics: Through vehicle network data and AI algorithms, vehicle malfunctions can be predicted in advance, shifting from “repairing after it breaks down” to “prevention before problems occur.”
• Digital Repair Solutions: AR smart glasses guiding repairs, 3D printing technology for rapid manufacturing of scarce parts, and smart diagnostic tools for one-click fault code reading—these technologies will greatly improve repair efficiency and accuracy.
• Integrated Supply Chain Platform: Showcasing how big data and IoT technologies can be used to achieve precise inventory management, real-time logistics tracking, and build a more flexible and resilient global supply chain network.

Global Stage, Chinese Opportunities

The Shanghai Frankfurt Automotive Parts Exhibition has always been a bridge connecting China and the world. For international brands, it is the preferred gateway to the vast and dynamic Chinese market and an excellent opportunity to experience the innovative strength of China’s local supply chain. For Chinese companies, it is a crucial platform to showcase their transformation and upgrading achievements from “manufacturing” to “intelligent manufacturing” on the global stage, and to compete and cooperate with international counterparts for mutual benefit. Conclusion

The 2025 Shanghai Frankfurt Automotive Parts Exhibition is more than just an exhibition; it’s a collective preview of the future of the automotive industry. Here, technology, capital, talent, and ideas will collide fiercely, jointly charting the roadmap for the next phase of mobility transformation. Whether you are an industry leader, technology expert, investor, or observer, this will be an unmissable feast of ideas and business opportunities.

Let’s meet in Shanghai in 2025, start the engine together, and drive towards a future of limitless possibilities!
