Automechanika Ho Chi Minh 2025

Automechanika Ho Chi Minh City 2025 will be held on 19 – 21 June 2025 acting as a two-way gateway between the Vietnamese automotive market and the global landscape. It will connect participants across the entire automotive value chain from OEMs to the aftermarket and from production processes to finished products.

Vietnam’s automotive market has evolved significantly over recent years, fuelled by a growing economy, awareness of environmental issues and changing consumer preferences within the country. With these developments attracting global attention, Automechanika Ho Chi Minh 2025 is an important event for industry players looking to capitalise on an attractive investment environment and Vietnam’s status as an emerging economic power.

Ms Fiona Chiew, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, commented: “Vietnam’s automotive industry has seen a growing consumer base that is becoming younger and more dynamic. This has led to an increased demand for passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and fleets, particularly in the compact car segment, as well as a shift in preferences towards advanced technologies and sustainable innovations. Automechanika Ho Chi Minh 2025 aims to address these changes across the entire auto supply chain, while engaging end users through interactive events, conferences, workshops, and more to show the accessibility of the market.”

A significant segment of this participant population is the rising middle class, increasingly concentrated in urban areas across the country. By 2030, Vietnam expects to add an additional 36 million people to this societal group, bringing the total middle-class population to 76 million. These demographic changes not only influence consumer preferences, but also reshape industry supply chains and manufacturing processes to meet evolving demands.

“To capitalise on emerging market opportunities, international brands have made notable entries into the Vietnamese market. This attests to the thriving investment landscape fostered by the country’s government, consumers, and businesses, driving growth within the industry, as is reflected throughout the show,” Ms Chiew added.

One prominent approach of FDI in Vietnam is the establishment of joint ventures, such as the partnership between Chinese Geely Auto group and Tasco Joint Stock Company signed in 2024. Additionally, Skoda has selected Vietnam for its first assembly plant in Southeast Asia, projected for completion in early 2025. With the entry of these global leaders, their expertise and resources are anticipated to elevate skill development, infrastructure, and job creation within the local industry.

Addressing supply chain innovations and consumer preference transformations

The future of the auto industry will be the focus of the Automotive Mobility Solutions Zone, which will feature a range of advanced technologies and green solutions centring around key themes in the supply chain, including digital technology, electrification, connectivity, logistics, and manufacturing. To further promote the sharing of ideas between the global landscape and the Vietnamese sector, the Automotive Mobility Solutions Conference will return to complement the exhibits, bringing together insights from brands, professors, government officials, and experts. They will discuss a diverse range of topics relevant to the development of Vietnam’s auto industry and international markets:

Energy solutions and new energy vehicles (NEVs)
Digitalisation and connected vehicle technologies
Battery technologies and charging facilities
Autonomous driving technologies
Cybersecurity, parking and security systems
Logistics and supply chain optimisation
Advanced manufacturing technologies
Quality control and R&D
ESG and sustainability

Alongside this, the Automotive Repair & Maintenance / Body & Paint / Care & Detailing / Oils, Lubricants & Fuels / Accessories & Customising segments will showcase the latest advancements in repair and maintenance equipment for various powertrain technologies. For example, visitors can discover the latest in infotainment systems, diagnostic software, customisation options, oils, lubricants and auto care products for both internal combustion engines (ICE) and new energy vehicles (NEVs).

Additionally, the returning Collision Repair Training Workshop will demonstrate some of these tools in action, with theoretical discussions and practical demonstrations on the latest technologies and equipment setting the stage for comprehensive training programmes. The workshops will focus on green solutions for ICE vehicle types and new energy vehicles (NEVs).
