Cross-border e-commerce is a “digital bridge” that swiftly connects producers and consumers worldwide and represents a significant trend in the development of global trade. According to preliminary data from China Customs, China’s cross-border e-commerce imports and exports reached approximately 1.32 trillion yuan in the first half of the year, up 5.7% year-on-year. Exports accounted for about 1.03 trillion yuan, an increase of 4.7%, while imports stood at 291.1 billion yuan, rising 9.3%.

Amid this booming trend, Ningbo—one of China’s first cross-border e-commerce pilot cities—has demonstrated strong industrial momentum. In 2024, Ningbo's cross-border e-commerce exports surpassed 47 billion yuan, up 18.4%, and imports exceeded 30 billion yuan, ranking among the top three nationwide. With over 20,000 cross-border e-commerce enterprises clustered in the Ningbo Comprehensive Pilot Zone, a complete ecosystem has been built—from supply chains to overseas warehouses—forming a nationally recognized e-commerce industry cluster.

This fertile ground for e-commerce is now nurturing unique industrial opportunities. From August 13 to 15,CHINA NINGBO INTERNATIONAL AUTO PARTS & AFTERMARKET FAIR 2025 (CAPAFAIR Ningbo 2025) will be held at the Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center, becoming a key platform for auto parts companies to deeply connect with the e-commerce ecosystem.

At the expo, major global platforms such as eBay, AliExpress, and Made-in-China.com will set up dedicated booths to showcase the online transaction landscape for automotive parts. Behind these platforms stand thousands of local Ningbo service providers—from financial institutions offering cross-border payment solutions to logistics companies specializing in overseas warehousing, and multilingual operation teams—forming a complete and efficient e-commerce support network.

For auto parts companies, this is an opportunity to meet top e-commerce sellers with annual sales in the millions, connect with incubators for emerging brands, explore joint overseas ventures, or find ideal partners for operations and distribution.

A series of cross-border e-commerce forums will also be held during the expo, including eBay’s “eBay Auto and Motorcycle Parts Global Market Investment Conference” , AliExpress’s “Introduction to AliExpress Model & Hot-selling Auto Parts Specifications,” Made-in-China.com’s “Auto Parts Industry Arrange from Zero, Cross-border E-commerce Practical Forum,” and Walmart’s “Walmart Auto Parts Category Business Opportunities Exploration.” These forums will provide practical insights on global market trends, platform operations, and compliance essentials, helping businesses better leverage e-commerce channels to expand overseas.

The rise of cross-border e-commerce has empowered automotive parts manufacturers with strong production capabilities to directly engage global consumers. As a vital component of Ningbo's e-commerce industry, over 20,000 cross-border e-commerce enterprises in the city's pilot zone will actively participate in the expo as buyers. These include professional teams focused on the auto parts vertical and full-category trading service providers—bringing with them not only massive purchasing demand, but also mature overseas channel resources and digital operation expertise.

Whether you're looking for high-quality suppliers, competitive products, technical showcases, or global expansion opportunities, CAPAFAIR Ningbo 2025 is not to be missed. With the support of this exhibition, more “Made in Ningbo” and “Smart Made in China” auto parts will cross the digital bridge of e-commerce and step onto the global stage.
