**Exhibition Introduction:**
The AAPEX (Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo) is the largest professional exhibition for the global automotive aftermarket. It is co-organized by the Automotive Parts Association of America (APAA), the American Service Industry Association (ASIA), and the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA). The event is held annually in Las Vegas and features two exhibition zones: AAPEX and SEMA.
AAPEX focuses on showcasing the international automotive parts and aftermarket services sector, attracting users and service providers from North and South America, Europe, and the Middle East. It is one of the largest trade fairs for the automotive manufacturing industry globally, emphasizing the automotive aftermarket parts and maintenance products. As the most effective trade fair for the automotive parts industry in North America, AAPEX offers exhibitors the unique opportunity to connect with buyers from around the world, especially from North America, who may not be present at other exhibitions.
**Market Overview:**
The North American market is the largest demand market for automotive parts globally. The U.S. market alone has a capacity of $60 billion for automotive parts, with more than half of the demand met through imports. Products such as bearings, axles, and hydraulic components are particularly advantageous in the North American market, presenting significant growth potential. According to statistics, the U.S. market accounts for one-sixth of the global market's annual sales.
The scale of the U.S. automotive parts market is astonishing. For example, based on the current vehicle ownership in the U.S., Americans typically change their oil and perform routine maintenance every 5,000 miles (approximately 8,000 kilometers). If this interval were reduced to an average of 4,900 miles, it could increase the market capacity by $65 million annually. The U.S. automotive aftermarket has evolved over nearly 100 years, from basic car washing and waxing to advanced satellite navigation and performance modifications. This evolution has seen the emergence of countless new products and technologies, creating wealth for millions of Americans.
