The Automotive Aftermarket

42 Is Back On Schedule

In order to get an accurate picture of market
sentiment, organisers took advantage of the last
Autopromotec to commission an independent
survey of exhibitors aimed in particular at
identifying their preferences for scheduling the
sectors’ international events.

The survey revealed that, once the pandemic is
over, exhibitors would prefer that the two most im-
portant international trade fairs for the automotive
aftermarket – Autopromotec and Automechanika –
return to their traditional schedule: Autopromotec
in odd-numbered years and Automechanika in
even-numbered years.

Representatives of these two events agreed that
it was important to satisfy the market’s require-
ments here, and as a consequence, Automechanika
Frankfurt will take place on 10-14 September 2024,
while the 30th Autopromotec will take place on 21-
24 May 2025 in the Bologna fair district, restoring the
events’ alternation that had been interrupted by the
pandemic.
In addition, Autopromotec is creating a new event,
to be held on 16-18 November 2023. The event, which
is still in the design phase, is devoted to manufactu-
rers, component suppliers, dealers and buyers and
focuses on the challenges facing the entire mobility
industry, from the energy transition and sustainabi-
lity to new business models. We will reveal more as
the event approaches. We invite you to save the date
today.
