Smart Vehicle Chain Core Metrics
Metric | 3rd CISPE (2025) | 4th CISPE (2026) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
Exhibition area (sqm) | 12,000 | 16,800 | +40% |
Exhibiting companies | 132 | 186 | +41% |
Overseas buyers | 850 | 1,200 | +41% |
Intent contracts (RMB bn) | 38 | 52 | +37% |
Supply chain analysts note that China's smart vehicle chain competitiveness has shifted from cost advantage alone to a technology leadership + cost advantage dual-engine model. Taking LiDAR as an example, Chinese 192-line products are priced below RMB 3,000, while comparable overseas products remain above $800.
For overseas buyers and distributors, CISPE provides a comprehensive window into China's smart vehicle supply chain ecosystem. Through cross-border trade platforms like EX1000.COM, international procurement parties can directly connect with core suppliers showcased at the expo, shortening the decision chain from discovery to purchase.
