Autopromotec 2025: a recap of Consorzio PDA’s presence
From 21 to 24 May 2025, Autopromotec once again brought the best of the international aftermarket industry to Bologna, confirming its role as a key event for the sector. The 2025 edition closed with record numbers: 97,348 trade visitors, 17% international attendance, 1,692 exhibiting companies, 61 represented brands, 165,000 square metres of exhibition space and 207 scheduled events.
Consorzio PDA also took part in the exhibition, welcoming visitors at Hall 14 – Stand F8 and bringing to the fair its perspective on the auto and truck aftermarket, the independent network, the relationship with workshops and the development of services.
An event focused on the present and future of the market
Autopromotec 2025 clearly confirmed how the sector is evolving along multiple directions at once: digitalisation, sustainability, technological transition, professional updating and new service models.
For those working in parts distribution and in the independent network, the fair once again proved to be a valuable observatory on the state of the market: not just a product showcase, but a place to discuss scenarios, priorities and future directions.
Consorzio PDA’s participation
For Consorzio PDA, Autopromotec was an important opportunity to meet members, suppliers, partners and industry professionals in a highly specialised setting. Participation in the fair reflects a clear vision: being present where relationships are built, updates are shared and the changes reshaping the supply chain can be read in advance.
At the event, discussions focused in particular on a number of key themes that are now central for the Consortium and its network: the value of proximity, the evolving relationship between distributors and workshops, the growing importance of data and digital tools, and the role of programmes such as Expert Point in making that relationship more structured and continuous.
An edition worth remembering
The 2025 edition of Autopromotec confirmed not only the strength of the event itself, but also the vitality of a supply chain that continues to evolve without losing its professional roots. In this context, events like this remain essential for identifying priorities, creating new opportunities and strengthening dialogue between all the players in the sector.
For Consorzio PDA, the balance is positive: a useful and meaningful presence, rich in meetings and content, within an exhibition that continues to represent one of the main reference points for the Italian and international aftermarket.
