Mexico City, July 8, 2026 – During INA PAACE Automechanika Mexico 2026, Messe Frankfurt highlighted the importance of Automechanika Frankfurt 2026, which will take place from September 8 to 12, 2026, in Frankfurt, Germany. The event is expected to welcome approximately 4,500 exhibitors from more than 80 countries and tens of thousands of international visitors. The show will feature new formats such as HighTech4Mobility, Innovation4Mobility, and the Future Mobility Park, with a strong focus on innovation, sustainability, electromobility, and specialized training.
Olaf Mußhoff, Director of Automechanika Frankfurt, emphasized: “Automechanika Frankfurt is where the trends that later shape markets such as Mexico are defined. That is why we look forward to welcoming the Mexican industry in 2026.”
Following this, Gabriel Padilla, Executive Director of the Industria Nacional de Autopartes (INA), presented the key findings of the INA Aftermarket Monitor, a tool that provides strategic information on market value, employment trends, and demand indicators within the sector.
Meanwhile, Norma Elías from ARIDRA shared the results of the ARIDRA-INA Aftermarket Industry Confidence Index, which measures the sentiment and expectations of key players across the distribution chain.
“These joint initiatives strengthen decision-making based on reliable and timely data, contributing to the growth and professionalization of the Mexican aftermarket,” the three organizations agreed.
The conference concluded with a Q&A session, confirming that both indicators will be published on a regular basis.
