The 11th edition of Auto Aftermarket Guangzhou (AAG) is set to take place from August 19 to 21, 2026, at the Poly World Trade Expo Center. Positioning itself as a crucial gateway for the automotive supply chain across South China, Southeast Asia, and the Greater Bay Area, this year's staging expands to 85,000 square meters across seven exhibition halls, bringing together more than 1,800 domestic and international exhibitors.

Organized jointly by Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd and Sinomachint, AAG 2026 aligns with China’s national push toward intelligent manufacturing, green initiatives, and supply chain integration. This year’s exhibition floor is restructured into key thematic zones designed to serve evolving buyer needs and foster cross-industry collaboration.

A major highlight for enthusiasts and industry professionals alike is the Accessories and Customising Zone in Hall 2 and Hall 4. Embracing a theme that blends retro pop art and retrofuturism, the area introduces a dedicated professional racing products section alongside top aftermarket modification brands. Outdoor activations include the UTS Customisation Salon, featuring classic vehicle displays and product debuts that showcase the vibrant tuning culture of the region.

Beyond custom builds and motorsport, the event addresses every facet of the vehicle lifecycle. Hall 6 hosts the Commercial Vehicle Zone, tailored for heavy-duty fleet solutions and channel distribution, while Hall 5 serves as the Replacement Parts hub for high-wear components. In Hall 3, the Remanufacturing Zone highlights sustainable automotive practices, showcasing high-precision inspection tools and factory-rebuilt engines and transmissions.

Adding an interactive layer to the trade show, AAG 2026 features several special activations. Visitors can inspect a zero-carbon automotive sculpture titled Powering New Beginnings, crafted entirely from recycled vehicle parts. Attendees can also visit a hands-on circular economy lab to convert recycled plastics into custom keepsakes or participate in venue-wide interactive challenges.

AAG 2026 continues to serve as a vital springboard for global brands seeking entry into China’s booming market while offering regional players direct access to international trade networks.
