Automechanika Kuala Lumpur 2025 concluded successfully recently, receiving positive feedback from exhibitors and visitors who valued the connections made during the three-day event.
The expanded exhibition spanned the entire automotive value chain, from manufacturing to the aftermarket, and saw 311 exhibitors interact with 15,098 visitors across six halls of the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
Organisers state the space fostered positive interactions including business exchanges, educational opportunities, and entertainment experiences.
These were marked by the introduction of cutting-edge technologies and innovations in automation, connectivity, digitalisation, new energy, and more, driving growth and infusing dynamism into the entire automotive market in the region.
Key figures from Automechanika Kuala Lumpur 2025 include:
• Exhibitors: 311 from 21 countries and regions
• Visitors: 15,098 from 61 countries and regions (International: 21 percent; Local: 79 percent)
• Scale: 12,538 sqm (halls one to six)
• 29 fringe events and activities (eight by organisers, 21 by industry associations and organisations)
“I am pleased to see that our decision to expand the show to six halls was effective,” Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd General Manager, Fiona Chiew, said.
“The increased space allowed more exhibitors and attendees to engage in activities covering the entire automotive value chain and provided greater opportunities for networking, collaboration, and recreation.
“The array of new concepts, technologies and solutions showcased over the three days signified the ongoing momentum and innovative spirit of the ASEAN automotive industry.
“Similarly, Automechanika Kuala Lumpur is poised to match this positive trajectory, and I look forward to an even stronger event in 2026.”
Participants praised how the event remained at the forefront of these industry trends and showcased key technologies driving the future of the sector.
For example, the Automotive Mobility Solutions Zone displayed the latest innovations in digitalisation and electrification, transforming supply chain operations, logistics efficiency, and consumer satisfaction, with a particular focus on energy transition, new energy vehicle (NEV) adoption, cybersecurity, digital solutions and more.
Attendees emphasised that the event effectively highlighted the growing importance of environmental awareness and new lifestyle trends, both in manufacturing processes and consumer choices.
Reflected through the new Outdoor, Camping, Campervan and Caravan, Motorsport, JDM and Classic Cars zone, this successfully celebrated automotive subcultures while spotlighting and responding to emerging lifestyle trends.
The exhibition also hosted leading brands within the Passenger, Commercial Vehicles and Fleets, and Automotive Repair and Maintenance / Body and Paint / Care and Detailing / Oils, Lubricants and Fuels / Accessories and Customising zones, who presented groundbreaking technologies in these sectors.
Elsewhere, fringe programme events returned to a warm reception, and were said to be productive meeting places for industry players to converge, share ideas, and discuss solutions to some of the unique regional challenges.
At the Automotive Mobility Solutions Conference, 28 speakers from Amazon Web Services, Auto Data Technology, EV Connection, Proton, Stellantis, Volvo, and more engaged over 517 attendees. Simultaneously, 20 trainers addressed more than 230 visitors at the Collision Repair Training Workshop, where participants learned about the latest equipment, tools, technologies, and techniques for servicing ICE, hybrid and NEV vehicle types in today’s green and connected landscape.
The collaborative and inclusive spirit was also highlighted by attendees as they praised the immersive activities at autoFEST@KL.
