CITEXPO 2026 concluded on September 4 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, closing a three-day run that organizers say brought together about 400 tire, wheel, and related manufacturers.
The 21st China International Tire Expo ran September 2–4, 2026, as previewed earlier on Traction News. Organizers report that international buyer attendance reached a new record this year, reinforcing CITEXPO’s role as a major Asia-Pacific meeting point for tire and wheel trade.
Traction News was on site with a media presence, continuing coverage of the show for the global tire and wheel audience.
Looking ahead to 2027, organizers say they plan to expand the tire and wheel manufacturer line-up and bring in more companies from automotive components, equipment, and the aftermarket.
Event details and future editions are listed on the CITEXPO website. Traction News’s pre-show overview is available at CITEXPO 2026: Connecting the Global Tire and Wheel Industry in Shanghai.
