From 8 to 12 September 2026, the international automotive industry will meet at Automechanika Frankfurt. Wolk & Nikolic Aftersales Intelligence will be there: you will find us in the foyer of hall 4.1, booth FOY15, in the passage between halls 3 and 5.
At our booth, we will show how reliable market data, continuous market observation and custom market research support concrete decisions in the automotive aftermarket. Visitors can explore our data products, see selected dashboards live and discuss their own questions on market size, distribution structures, workshop landscapes, e-commerce, pricing or regional potential with our team.
All details on the booth, daily programme and appointment booking are available on our Automechanika 2026 event page.
What we will present at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026
The focus is not on abstract trends, but on applicable information for manufacturers, distributors, workshop networks, e-commerce providers and other companies in the automotive aftermarket.
Aftermarket Intelligence Hub: market structures in one platform
The Aftermarket Intelligence Hub combines structured information on European aftermarket markets in web-based modules and dashboards. Teams can compare market participants, monitor developments and export results for their own analyses and presentations.
- Distribution Overview for distributors, trading groups, buying groups and ownership structures
- Workshop Landscape for workshop types, workshop concepts, service networks and regional coverage
- Aftermarket Volumes for market size, product groups and potential in IAM and OES channels
These modules help teams prioritise target markets, plan sales territories on a stronger factual basis and assess competitive and channel structures systematically.
E-commerce and pricing insights for the digital aftermarket
Online channels are changing price transparency, product availability and competitive intensity in the parts market. Our E-Commerce Insights combine data on the overall online market with analyses of relevant e-commerce players, eBay, Amazon and service portals.
At Automechanika, we will show how digital market signals can be evaluated by country, category, brand or seller as a basis for channel strategy, competitive monitoring, pricing and investment decisions.
Geo-marketing, workshop addresses and regional potential
Which regions are attractive? How dense is a sales or workshop network? And where are gaps in market coverage? Our geo-marketing services for the automotive aftermarket combine location data with market and potential information. In addition, we provide qualified workshop and dealer addresses for market analysis, territory planning and targeted sales work.
At the booth, we will demonstrate how maps and regional analyses make complex structures visible and prepare operational decisions.
Aftermarket Barometer and omnibus research
The Aftermarket Barometer provides quarterly insights into business development, capacity utilisation, product demand and the expectations of independent workshops in six European markets. This makes changes visible earlier than traditional sales statistics often can.
For company-specific questions, the Omnibus Survey offers efficient access to relevant aftermarket target groups. Companies can integrate their own questions into an ongoing survey and receive reliable answers without setting up a full individual study for every topic.
Custom market research and implementation support
Not every decision can be answered with a standard dashboard. Our automotive aftermarket market research examines specific questions on brand perception, products, prices, customer groups, concepts, markets and growth potential. Research design and methodology are aligned with the decision that needs to be prepared.
When data needs to become operational action, our advisory and implementation work supports strategy planning, sales and process questions as well as workshop, logistics and spare-parts distribution topics. We connect aftermarket data with sector expertise and workable implementation packages.

Come to Frankfurt with a specific market question
A trade fair appointment is most productive when there is already a concrete decision or question on the table. Useful starting points for a discussion include:
- Which countries, regions or customer groups offer the strongest potential?
- How are distribution and workshop structures organised in a target market?
- How is a product category developing in the online channel?
- How is a brand perceived by workshops, distributors or drivers?
- Which data is needed for territory planning, market entry or competitive comparison?
We are happy to prepare your appointment around your topic and involve the right specialist from our team where useful.
