Record number of buyers for ACLE 2024

The exhibition, which spread over 8 halls in the Expo Centre, occupied a total area of 92,000 square meters, with more than 1,000 exhibitors from 28 countries and regions.  There were 17 international and national pavilions: Australia, Brazil, China (Fuxin, Haining, Ouhai, Pingyu, Wuji, Xinji, Zhaoyuan), France, Italy, Pakistan, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand and the United States.

For the second consecutive year, the number of visitors reached a record level. ACLE attracted more than 31,000 buyers and technicians, an increase of 11 percent over 2023. Among the thousands of buyers were many manufacturers of shoes, bags, clothing, furniture and car interiors and related designers.

Recall that despite the overall unfavorable economic situation after the pandemic, according to the China Leather Industry Association (CLIA), Chinese leather industry revenues grew 5.2 percent year-on-year in the first half of 2024, which boosted the trade show’s business interest. Compared with the first half of 2023, the Chinese leather industry showed more positive results this year.

Therefore, all that remains is to mark in your diary the next ACLE 25th edition, which will be held from September 3-5, 2025, at the New International Expo Centre in Shanghai.
