transport logistic China and air cargo China celebrate 20th anniversary

Since its inception in 2004, transport logistic China has been recognized as the leading trade fair for logistics, mobility, IT and supply chain management in the Asia-Pacific region. Over the past two decades, the show has consistently set industry trends and served as an important gateway for both international companies seeking access to the Chinese market and Chinese companies looking to expand globally. From June 25–27, the Shanghai New International Expo Center will once again be the meeting place for the global logistics and airfreight industry. More than 700 exhibitors will be showcasing their products and services across 50,000 square meters of exhibition space. Visitors will also have the opportunity to learn about the latest developments and trends as part of the conference program.

In 2004, the first transport logistic China took place on approximately 22,000 square meters. Today, the trade fair has developed into a global platform for the logistics industry, and international interest continues unabated. China's importance as a hub for the international movement of goods is as great as ever. The Port of Shanghai, for example, is the largest and busiest port in the world, handling more than 25 percent of the world's shipping traffic. China's e-commerce market is also driving demand for innovative logistics solutions.

Despite a six-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, transport logistic China is returning in full size with 50,000 square meters of exhibition space and more than 700 exhibitors, building on the success of 2018. Numerous international joint participations from countries such as Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and the Czech Republic as well as the participation of the industry association ITCO with its Tank Container Village underline the international orientation. The trade fair covers the entire spectrum of logistics services, from logistics real estate and air freight to land transport, port and shipping logistics, fresh produce logistics, logistics equipment and IT systems and special vehicles.

In 2024, air cargo China will once again take place as part of transport logistic China. It is the largest industry event for air cargo in the Asian region and, at around 10,000 square meters, is larger than ever before. Visitors will have the opportunity to network with renowned airlines such as China Southern Airlines, Cargolux, All Nippon Airways, Etihad Cargo, Lufthansa Cargo, Silk Way West Airlines, Qatar Cargo and United Cargo, as well as airports and providers for service and logistics.

transport logistic China and air cargo China also provide an excellent opportunity to obtain the latest market information. Experts from all areas of the logistics industry will discuss hot topics such as e-commerce, the Maritime Silk Road and logistics trends and technologies for the supply chain in the manufacturing industry, with a focus on the automotive, chemical and textile industries. The conference sessions are free of charge for exhibitors and visitors

"We are delighted that transport logistic China is finally back on track and making an impressive comeback. It has been a pacemaker for the development of the Eurasian Corridor over the past two decades and today reflects the major shifts in the global economy. These include the nearshoring of industry, digitalization, ongoing globalization and dealing with climate change," says Dr Robert Schönberger, Global Industry Lead at Messe München.
