As the automotive sector gears up to get back on track with shifting consumer trends, the 2021 edition of ACMA Automechanika New Delhi will be the first meeting point for “face-to-face networking” to revive trade discussions. With a view to create a stronger business impact, Messe Frankfurt India together with Auto Component Manufacturers of India (ACMA) has announced that the 5th edition will take place from 22 – 25 April 2021.

The automotive industry is shifting gears – as it witnesses an uptick in vehicle consumption in Q2 FY 2020-21. With health and safety taking precedence, mobility needs and consumer sentiments have led to a rise in vehicle buying – and demand for private vehicle has picked up with green shoots emerging in the two-wheeler and small car segments.

Major carmakers reported a near 20 percent jump in August domestic passenger vehicle sales compared to last year which is expected to further rise during the festive season. This growth, combined with car parc of second-hand vehicles due to increased private-car use, is expected to lead to a rise in aftermarket demand. The shifting trends have brought with it a surge in omni-channel aftermarket models as well as ‘new normal’ aftermarket solutions.

According to organizers, the 5th edition will be crucial to re-build customer connections and re-unite businesses in the auto segment through its array of displays for the ‘new normal’.
