transport logistic China and air cargo China to expand exhibition space for 2026
Strong organic growth drives additional hall capacity and rising international participation
transport logistic China and air cargo China will significantly expand their exhibition footprint in 2026. Around 850 exhibitors are expected, up from 794 in 2024, with more than 600 companies already registered. Visitor numbers are projected to rise from 36,000 in 2024 to approximately 40,000 in 2026.
The growth is primarily driven by strong organic development in the air cargo segment, while transport logistic also continues to expand steadily. To meet rising demand, organizers are adding more hall space. Air cargo will extend beyond Hall W5 into Hall W4, and Hall W1 will be added to provide more exhibition space for the transport logistic segment.
International participation continues to rise. Around 50 countries are expected in 2026, up from 42 countries in 2024. Five country pavilions are currently planned, representing Germany, Singapore, Slovenia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
The 2026 edition will feature a clearly structured hall layout. Hall W4 now houses the expanded air cargo exhibition area alongside the established logistic service provider exhibitors. Hall W3 will present key focus areas including project cargo and tank container solutions, alongside more logistics service providers and forwarders. Hall W2 will center on rail logistics, highlighting the growing relevance of the China Europe Railway Express. Hall W1 will introduce a new focus on road transport and house a Truck Ecosystem Pavilion, organized by Messe Muenchen Shanghai together with G7 Connect to show the innovative future of road transportation.
By integrating rail, road, air, sea and project cargo solutions under one roof, the event continues to strengthen its multimodal profile as a key business platform for the Asian logistics market.
“The strong exhibitor growth toward 2026 clearly reflects the market’s confidence in both the transport logistic China event and in China as a key logistics growth engine,” said Dr. Robert Schönberger, Global Industry Lead at Messe München. “Participation here means being close to one of the world’s most dynamic supply chain markets. With its clear focus on multimodal solutions and expanding international reach, the event has become a strategic platform for companies looking to unlock long-term opportunities in Asia.”
Visitor registration for transport logistic China 2026 is now officially open, allowing attendees to secure their free of charge participation through early pre‑registration.
