From November 4 to 6, the China International Auto Parts & Aftermarket Exhibition (USA), also known as the China Brand Exhibition, was successfully convened in Las Vegas, USA. This event was hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China, organized by the Foreign Trade Development Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce, and supported by China National Machinery Industry International Co., Ltd. (SINOMACHINT).
The exhibition, themed “China Brand,” highlighted the comprehensive capabilities and innovative advancements within China’s automotive parts sector. The venue featured over 100 distinguished enterprises representing 12 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions, including Jiangsu, Guangdong, Shandong, Hebei, Anhui, and Shanghai. Exhibits encompassed the full industrial chain of both new energy and traditional vehicles, covering diverse domains such as batteries and three-electric systems, chassis control, component assemblies, accessories and modifications, maintenance and repair, as well as intelligent management systems.
Held over three days, the China Brand Exhibition coincided with the 2025 AAPEX International Auto Parts and Aftermarket Expo in Las Vegas. Recognized as one of the top three global auto parts exhibitions, AAPEX attracts a wide array of professional buyers and aftermarket service providers from North America, South America, Europe, and the Middle East. This exhibition serves as a critical international platform for the automotive parts and maintenance products industry, providing Chinese enterprises with an effective channel to access both North American and global markets.
The United States represents one of the largest automotive parts procurement markets worldwide, with an annual industry scale exceeding $400 billion, approximately 40% of which is dependent on imports. Data from 2024 indicate that China’s automotive parts exports to the U.S. reached $18.3 billion, constituting 15.6% of China’s total automotive parts exports. Consequently, China has emerged as a key source of automotive parts imports for the U.S. market.
Participation in this exhibition enabled Chinese enterprises to engage in direct exchanges with global industry stakeholders, deepen their understanding of North American market demands and technological trends, enhance brand recognition, expand overseas sales networks, and promote international cooperation. The successful execution of this exhibition offers substantial support for the integration of China’s automotive parts industry into global supply chains and accelerates the internationalization of Chinese automotive brands.
