A global stage for the automotive industry

Auto Shanghai's global influence continues to grow. Leading automotive companies from Germany and abroad are represented at the highest decision-making level, making the trade fair a central meeting place for the global industry. With a large number of premiere models, groundbreaking technologies and a significantly expanded exhibition area for the automotive supply chain, Auto Shanghai has successfully established itself as a safe, professionally organised and internationally recognised automotive spectacle.

Proactive integration as a driver of change

Networking has become a key driver of industrial transformation. At Auto Shanghai, ‘Made in China, for the world’ has positioned itself as a defining theme. Through a continuously optimised trade fair concept, the event specifically promotes industrial cooperation and integration, drives the development of intelligent vehicle technologies and actively reshapes the global automotive industry ecosystem.

Innovation as a driving force

Practicality and safety form the foundation of technological leadership. The high level of innovation in the Chinese market opens up new perspectives and growth potential for the global automotive industry. At Auto Shanghai 2025, the focus was on Chinese brands, technological innovations and efficient supply chains, underlining the clear technological ambition.

Win-win cooperation in a global competitive environment

The role of the Chinese market is being redefined. In recent years, Chinese and international car manufacturers have demonstrated comparable performance at international trade fairs. At Auto Shanghai, domestic Chinese and foreign brands compete in a healthy, fair environment and jointly showcase the international diversity and strength of the industry.

Focus on the future of mobility

With open cooperation and cross-industry integration, Auto Shanghai offers much more than a classic motor show. Auto Shanghai 2025 symbolised the ongoing globalisation of the Chinese automotive industry. The convergence of ‘Automotive +’ and ‘AI +’ opens up new possibilities as vehicles increasingly evolve into intelligent, multifunctional mobile hubs.

Guided by the principles of promoting technological innovation, strengthening cooperation within the industry and expanding market reach, Auto Shanghai remains true to its claim of being a Class A international motor show. Auto Shanghai plays a leading role in presenting the latest technological breakthroughs and innovations that are shaping the future of the global automotive industry.
