An unprecedented global gathering is taking place in Foshan.
Within the current landscape of large-scale domestic exhibitions, the car model segment mostly exists as an “affiliated exhibition area” — with very few brands involved, the number of exhibitors generally stuck at just over ten, and no independent industry influence built up yet.
The 3rd Greater Bay Area Model Show has taken a different approach.
You may search online across all platforms. There has been no precedent anywhere in the world for an exhibition featuring more than 100 car model brands as exhibitors.
The 3rd Greater Bay Area Model Show has achieved this milestone.
This is far more than just a meaningless stack of numbers. Over 100 brands mark this as the world’s largest-ever assembly of exhibitors for the car model category. From established European manufacturers to niche independent Japanese brands, from large-scale fully-opening alloy models to intricate 1:64 miniature replicas, from resin modification parts to scene figures — nearly all leading manufacturers you can name have confirmed their attendance at the APAxpo venue in Foshan this October.
Why here? The core heartland of the global model industry.
What is the Greater Bay Area?
The source of 90% of the world’s die-cast model production capacity.
From alloy die-casting to resin mold making, from spraying to packaging, the entire industrial chain is concentrated in factories across this region. This is the heart of the global model industry, home to cutting-edge technology, the most dense supply chains and the highest production efficiency.
Hosting the exhibition on our home turf gives us full confidence.
The reason the 3rd Greater Bay Area Model Show has attracted over 100 brands is not simply expanded merchant recruitment. It rests on two cornerstones:
The industrial foundation of the Greater Bay Area as the global source of car model production capacity
The full-chain ecosystem of “real vehicles + modification + automotive beauty + enthusiasts + models” built by APAxpo
What model brands gain here is more than just an exhibition booth. It is a window for direct communication with real-car culture and core enthusiast communities.
A top-tier model show must be backed by top-tier automotive culture. Otherwise, it is merely a street vendor sale, not a “show”.
To Conclude
Over 100 brands, more than 1,000 limited editions, over 3,000 modified real vehicles, 200,000 visitors, and a 100,000 ㎡ exhibition hall.
This is not merely a model exhibition. It serves as the annual benchmark for global model culture and a stage where China’s automotive culture engages in dialogue with the world.
We will not reveal the participating brands, for this year you deserve to unbox surprises on site.
