Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Automechanika Istanbul is preparing to once again bring together the automotive aftermarket industry in Istanbul. With a broad agenda ranging from e-mobility to sustainability, the exhibition will offer significant collaboration opportunities and new market prospects for the automotive ecosystem, including the lubricants industry.
As one of the largest gatherings of the automotive aftermarket industry in the region, Automechanika Istanbul will open its doors for the 25th time at the Istanbul TÜYAP Fair and Congress Center between May 19-22, 2026. Organized through the collaboration of Messe Frankfurt Istanbul and Hannover Fairs Turkey, the event will celebrate a quarter-century legacy this year.
Since its launch in 2001, Automechanika Istanbul has evolved beyond being merely a trade fair and has become a strategic meeting point for the automotive aftermarket ecosystem. Bringing together industry professionals from Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, the event continues to create important opportunities particularly in exports, new business partnerships, and technology-driven transformation.
This year’s exhibition agenda will focus on e-mobility, digitalization, sustainability, remanufacturing, smart mobility solutions, and next-generation automotive technologies. Visitors will also have the opportunity to experience Automechanika Academy, Innovation4Mobility, and various thematic event areas during the exhibition.
According to official figures from Automechanika Istanbul, the 2025 edition hosted 1,500 exhibitors and nearly 58,000 visitors. With participation from more than 40 countries, the exhibition brings together all major product groups of the automotive aftermarket industry under one roof.
Standing out as an important meeting point for the lubricants industry, the fair brings together manufacturers, distributors, and technology providers with a focus on brand visibility, new business connections, and technical collaborations. Automechanika Istanbul aims not only to address today’s industry needs but also to help shape the future mobility ecosystem.
