Driven by improved visa policies and growing international flight connections, Yiwu is witnessing a sharp surge of inbound foreign business travellers in 2026, opening a promising golden window for China’s auto‑parts export trade.

Official local data reflects this strong momentum. In the first half of 2026 alone, inbound‑outbound passenger flow at Yiwu Airport exceeded 33,000, surpassing the full‑year total recorded for 2025. Air ticket bookings for foreign travellers flying into Yiwu rose by 62 % year‑on‑year. Supported by the 240‑hour transit‑visa‑exemption scheme and newly launched international air routes, overseas importers find it far easier to travel to Yiwu for on‑site product inspection and face‑to‑face supplier negotiation.

Every year, more than 300,000 international buyers travel to Yiwu for procurement purposes. Long‑term foreign‑resident merchants have reached 38,000, with foreign‑funded businesses exceeding 11,700. Its trade network now covers more than 230 countries and regions worldwide.

For auto‑parts wholesalers and import distributors, online communication can only go so far. Critical details such as part specifications, raw‑material quality, OE‑number matching and workmanship demand physical sample checking. That explains why so many global purchasers travel thousands of miles to Yiwu, the world‑famous “Supermarket of the World”, to source replacement auto and motorcycle components.

Persistent sourcing pain‑points for auto‑parts buyers in Yiwu market

Although Yiwu offers massive product resources, many overseas purchasers still run into well‑known obstacles while buying auto spare‑parts from local marketplaces:

‑ To complete one‑stop purchasing of diversified parts lines, buyers need to visit dozens of separate market stalls, consuming huge amounts of time and manpower. ‑ Most booth operators within the Yiwu International Trade City are trading intermediaries. It is often difficult for buyers to reach real manufacturing plants directly, making it hard to obtain genuine factory‑direct pricing. ‑ Fragmented sourcing makes consolidated negotiation and mixed‑container loading complicated, lowering overall procurement efficiency.

This gap creates clear market demand for a professional trade event that gathers genuine source factories in one venue, helping buyers skip intermediate links.

The expo gathers source manufacturers across multiple major industrial zones of China. Exhibits cover full‑range categories: automotive chassis components, braking & steering parts, engine and transmission spare‑parts, motorcycle assemblies, maintenance consumables, modification accessories as well as new‑energy‑vehicle spare‑parts solutions.

Unlike market stalls dominated by traders, this exhibition focuses on real production‑oriented factories. International visitors are able to examine physical samples, compare workmanship, verify OE‑application data, discuss bulk‑order terms, MOQ and mixed‑container solutions face‑to‑face with factory sales and technical teams. It removes layers of middlemen and streamlines the whole procurement workflow.

Pre‑registration is now open for international professional buyers. Qualified purchasers with clear sourcing plans can access on‑site business‑matching services and enjoy exclusive visitor benefits.
