From September 3rd to 5th, the 2024 All China Leather Exhibition (ACLE) was successfully held in the Shanghai New International Expo Center. The exhibition covers 8 exhibition halls in the Shanghai New International Expo Center, covering a total area of ??92,000 square meters, with more than 1,000 exhibitors from 28 different countries and regions around the world, including 17 international and domestic pavilions, representing Australia, Brazil, China (Fuxin, Haining, Ouhai, Pingyu, Wuji, Xinji, Zhaoyuan), France, Italy, Pakistan, Spain, Taiwan, China, Thailand and the United States.
The three-day exhibition held a series of professional and innovative activities.

Cross-border macro analysis to grasp the trend of going overseas, REACH & POP regulations and other speeches introduced trade and regulations related to the industry. Leather handmade workshops allowed participants to experience making leather products in person and understand the production process of leather products more intuitively. In addition, this exhibition introduced live broadcasting for the first time, broadcasting key forum activities to the world simultaneously, so that more people have the opportunity to participate in this grand event of the leather industry.
The 24th China International Leather Fair was extremely popular, with exhibitors
from all over the world, products covering different fields of the leather industry, and rich activities that brought together many industry leaders. The total number of visitors hit a record high. This exhibition attracted more than 31,000 visitors, an increase of 11% compared with the 23rd China International Leather Fair, including many shoe and bag, clothing, furniture and automotive interior manufacturers and related designers.
Exhibition Background
Despite the weak consumption in the post-epidemic era, according to the China Leather Association, in the first half of 2024, China's leather industry revenue still maintained a year-on-year growth of 5.2%. Compared with the first half of 2023, this year's China's leather industry has shown more positive results. As a full-time exhibitor of the two China International Leather Fairs after the epidemic, Qiu Tingrun from Tong Hong Tannery (Bei Hai) Co. Ltd. from Taiwan, China, said that this year's customers are more than last year, and many people are interested in their long-haired and suede leathers, hoping to get more orders next year. Ismael Naves from CB Tannery in Brazil described the exhibition as "important" and said that the exhibition provided them with an opportunity to connect with customers. As the top event in China's leather manufacturing and production field, the outstanding performance of the 2024 China International Leather Fair also fully demonstrated the strength of the leather industry and the confidence of the consumer market in the leather industry.
Feedback
Mr. Chen Zhanguang, Vice Chairman of the China Leather Association, said in the forum that China's leather industry is still in an important stage of reshuffle. It is expected that the leather industry will continue to operate smoothly in the third quarter and the whole year of this year. Mr. Marc Brunel, General Manager of the French Leather Association, said that according to their data surveys over the past two years, international consumers have a positive view of leather. Speaking of the future development of the leather industry, Mr. Muhammad Mehr Ali, Chairman of the Pakistan Tannery Association, said that we must turn to sustainable products.
The China International Leather Fair is not only a trade fair, but also a bridge for industry experts to gather and communicate. Tanida from Thailand's Tactus Co. Ltd. said that Tactus' original main market was the United States, and this time they came to the China International Leather Fair to use this international platform to explore the Asian and European markets. Zhou Wenming, president of Bode Leather (China) Co. Ltd., said: "Through such an exhibition platform, we can exchange the latest information and understand the development trend of this industry."
As Mr. Li Yuzhong, Vice President of China Light Industry Federation and Chairman of China Leather Association said: "Leather is divided into types and regions, but the leather industry is one skin, one world, and one dream." The leather industry is a global industry, and the China International Leather Fair, as an exhibition that brings together the global leather industry, showcases the latest products and technologies in the leather industry, promotes the flow of knowledge in various fields of the leather industry, helps practitioners around the world establish business connections, and effectively boosts industry confidence.
Conclusion
The 2024 China International Leather Exhibition has come to a successful conclusion. I am grateful for the encounter. I hope you and I can build a better future for the leather industry together. The 2025 China International Leather Exhibition will continue to be held in the Shanghai New International Expo Center. See you next year on September 3-5!
