ANPIC 2026: the heart of the global supply chain beats in León

The countdown to the most eagerly awaited event in the Latin American supply sector is well and truly underway, with the 67th edition of ANPIC – the region’s largest and most significant international trade fair for the supply chains of various strategic sectors, including leather goods and footwear, leather products, machinery and equipment, components and accessories, chemicals, and textiles and clothing. During the three-day event, the spotlight will be on the latest fashion trends for the Autumn-Winter 2027/28 season.

The October 2026 edition builds on the success of last year’s event, which attracted over 8,000 buyers to an exhibition area comprising 855 stands and featuring no fewer than 292 market-leading brands.

The event attracts professionals from all over the world. Among the countries topping the visitor rankings are the United States, Guatemala, Italy, Colombia and China. The event’s global reach is also reflected in its strong international exhibition component, which last year saw the participation of major foreign delegations and associations, including ASSINTECAL, CICB, EXPODETALLES and GRECALZA.

ANPIC’s success lies in its ability to identify the market’s genuine needs. During the last edition, the exhibition area saw a high level of interest from buyers in five key segments: new-generation synthetics, industrial processing machinery, fine leathers, designer accessories and components, and high-performance technological adhesives. These solutions will once again take centre stage and form the basis for the development of the collections for the AW 27/28 season.

In addition to the focus on the creativity of Mexico’s up-and-coming designers, this year’s edition will also feature a packed programme of side events, such as fashion shows and a series of conferences and technical seminars led by international experts, aimed at exploring new macro-economic trends, global style trends and the key factors influencing the supply sector in both the domestic and international markets.
