The 2025 Yiwu International Automotive and Motorcycle Parts Expo (CYAPE), one of China’s premier trade fairs for automotive components, is set to open on April 13–15, 2025, at the Yiwu International Expo Center in Zhejiang Province. This event, renowned for its focus on foreign trade, aims to bridge global buyers and suppliers while showcasing cutting-edge innovations in the automotive sector148.

Event Overview

Organized by the Yiwu Automotive and Motorcycle Parts Industry Association, the expo will span 30,400 square meters with 1,600 exhibition booths, attracting over 20,000 domestic buyers and 5,000 international visitors from 90+ countries, including key markets like Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, and South America24. Last year’s edition reported $90 million in transactions, with 90% of orders tied to international trade, underscoring Yiwu’s role as a global trade hub48.

Exhibition Highlights

Diverse Product Zones:
The expo features seven specialized zones, including Automotive Parts, Motorcycle Components, New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), and Aftermarket Upgrades. Notably, the NEV zone will spotlight electric vehicle drivetrains, charging infrastructure, and sustainable technologies, reflecting the industry’s shift toward green mobility28.

Organizers emphasize "precision business matching" to connect exhibitors with targeted buyers. A hybrid "online + offline" model will enhance accessibility, allowing virtual participation via digital platforms like TikTok and LinkedIn23.

Global Collaboration:
The event includes an International Cooperation Zone to foster cross-border partnerships. Delegations from Central Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America are expected to negotiate bulk purchases, leveraging Yiwu’s established supply chain networks14.

Industry Impact

Yiwu, home to over 2,000 automotive parts suppliers, generates approximately $7 billion annually in exports18. The expo’s synergy with Yiwu’s International Trade City—a permanent O2O marketplace—enables exhibitors to transition seamlessly from temporary booths to long-term storefronts, amplifying their global reach4.

Aligned with China’s carbon neutrality goals, the expo will debut advancements in eco-friendly materials and recyclable components. For instance, sessions on ethanol-to-butadiene technology for tire recycling will highlight circular economy initiatives8.

Future Outlook

With the automotive sector recovering post-pandemic, the 2025 expo is poised to drive industry recovery and innovation. As one exhibitor noted, “Yiwu isn’t just a marketplace—it’s a gateway to the world’s fastest-growing markets.”4.
