Exhibition Background
The automotive industry is a pillar industry of the national economy, with a long industrial chain, wide coverage and strong driving effect, playing the role of a "ballast stone" for stabilizing the growth of the industrial economy. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and 7 other departments jointly issued the "Work Plan for Stabilizing Growth in the Automotive Industry (2025-2026)", which mentions promoting the automotive industry to achieve effective improvement in quality and reasonable growth in quantity from four dimensions: expanding domestic consumption, improving supply quality, optimizing the development environment, and deepening opening-up and cooperation. With the rapid development of the new generation of information technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence and 5G, the automotive industry is ushering in a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. The "Plan" proposes to continuously improve supply quality, accelerate the breakthrough of key technologies such as automotive chips, operating systems, artificial intelligence and solid-state batteries, continuously improve the economy, durability and comfort of products, and develop more new functions such as intelligent interaction and intelligent driving that meet consumer needs.
As an important national automotive industry base, Hubei is one of the provinces with the highest level of automotive industrialization and the most complete industrial chain in China, with industrial clusters such as "Wuhan-Xiangyang-Shiyan-Suizhou" and automotive manufacturing and services. Wuhan, as one of China's six major cities for the development of automotive industry clusters, has its automotive and component industry as the largest pillar industry for many consecutive years.
Exhibition Overview
In 2025, Wuhan Automotive Manufacturing Expo, together with China Machinery Expo and Wuhan Industry Expo, attracted 1,100 domestic and foreign enterprises to participate, with the number of professional visitors exceeding 102,000 person-times. 35 international forums and technical summits were held concurrently, covering cutting-edge fields such as automotive technology, intelligent manufacturing, and industrial automation/robots. Through the online and offline integrated business matching model, the exhibition accumulated sales volume and intentional contract amount reaching 4.5 billion yuan, setting a record high performance in history.
As one of the largest and most international automotive industry events in the central region, the 2026 Wuhan International Automotive Manufacturing Technology and Intelligent Equipment Expo and Wuhan Industry Expo will create a top-level event in the global automotive technology and industrial equipment field through the "dual exhibition linkage". The preset exhibition area in 2026 is 100,000 square meters, with more than 1,200 expected domestic and foreign exhibitors, and the number of professional visitors is expected to exceed 110,000 person-times. More than 35 international forums and technical summits will be held concurrently, integrating core resources in the fields of automotive manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing, and promoting the exhibition to upgrade to a high-level form of "technology leadership, industrial empowerment and global radiation". Adhering to the core theme of "Gathering Sophisticated Equipment, Creating the Source of High-Quality Automobiles", this exhibition focuses on the core technological breakthroughs and industrial collaborative innovation of the entire automotive manufacturing chain such as automotive manufacturing, automotive components, chassis manufacturing, new energy vehicle industry, intelligent networking, wire harnesses and connectors, industrial automation/robots, laser welding, CNC machine tools and metal processing, and rubber and plastic packaging. Relying on Wuhan's geographical advantage of being "the thoroughfare of nine provinces", it fully demonstrates the innovative vitality of the automotive manufacturing industry and is committed to building a high-end platform for global automotive manufacturing technology exchange, resource docking and innovative cooperation.
