Shanghai Leather Exhibition - ALL CHINA LEATHER EXHIBITION

【Exhibition Overview】

    The China International Leather Exhibition, also known as the Shanghai Leather Exhibition, with the English name ALL CHINA LEATHER EXHIBITION, is the only leather industry exhibition in China that has reached an international level. It has always been a must-attend industry event for international enterprises looking to explore the Chinese market, and is the focal point of the global leather sector. Since its inception in 1998, the exhibition has attracted tens of thousands of professional buyers every year, mainly from China's core provinces for leather tanning, footwear, and leather product manufacturing.

    Currently, China's leather industry is the focus of global attention. Coupled with the growth of the leather industry in neighbouring countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia, this exhibition has accordingly become the fastest-growing professional leather exhibition worldwide. China ranks first globally in several leather-related fields: China is the world's largest producer of finished leather, with a huge market demand for raw hides, leather chemicals, and leather machinery; China is also the world's largest exporter of footwear, accounting for 40% of the global total, and therefore has the world's largest demand for finished leather, shoemaking machinery, and shoe materials; in addition, China is the world's largest automobile producer, accounting for 30% of global output, with a very substantial demand for automotive leather and car interiors.

    This exhibition is co-organised by the China Leather Industry Association together with the Asia-Pacific Leather Fair, and its industry status is widely recognised by the global industry. The exhibition mainly targets upstream tanning enterprises in the leather industry and is the preferred trading platform for professional visitors seeking raw hides, semi-finished leather, leather chemical raw materials, and leather machinery. Domestic tanneries can use this platform to negotiate business, import raw materials, complete processing, and export finished leather or supply it to domestic downstream manufacturers for finished products; renowned overseas tanneries also use this exhibition to promote their high-quality leather and shoe material products to domestic footwear and automotive leather importers. The exhibition is held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, located at No. 2345 Longyang Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai.

【Exhibition Value】

    The China International Leather Exhibition (ACLE) is currently the largest and most influential professional leather event in Asia. It operates in tandem with the “Fashion China” International Shoe, Bag and Apparel Fashion Exhibition, jointly forming a closed-loop international exhibition covering the entire industry chain “from materials, equipment, and chemicals to finished products, and from brands to characteristic industry bases”.

    Since its founding in 1998, the exhibition has more than twenty years of development history and has long become a “barometer” for the development of the global leather industry, as well as a comprehensive dialogue hub in the process of industry chain restructuring. The core value of exhibiting comes from the platform's full industry chain coverage and the channel advantages of precisely connecting with global sourcing resources.

    The exhibition covers all segments of the industry chain, including raw hides, crust leather, finished leather, chemical materials, tanning and shoemaking machinery, and shoes, bags, and apparel, forming a complete business closed loop from raw material procurement to finished product ordering. The professional buyer base comes from more than 100 countries and regions worldwide, including Italy, Germany, the UK, Portugal, Russia, the USA, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, India, and the UAE, providing exhibiting companies with a strategic window for efficient access to the international market.

    The exhibition builds an international trading platform connecting the global market, bringing together leading industry brands and key players. The 2025 exhibition attracted nearly 1,000 exhibitors from 27 countries and regions, including 9 international pavilions from Australia, Brazil, France, Italy, Pakistan, Spain, and others, as well as 34 domestic speciality regional pavilions such as Wenzhou, Jinjiang, Haining, Xinji, Baigou, and Shiling. World-renowned raw material suppliers, leading tanneries, top leather chemical companies, and intelligent equipment leaders were all present, fully demonstrating the exhibition's industry appeal and international standing.

    The exhibition closely follows the industry development trend of “green intelligent manufacturing and smart upgrading”, building a technology hub with deep integration of industry, academia, research, and application. The 2025 exhibition, themed “Green Intelligent Manufacturing Leading a New Industry Ecosystem”, showcased a number of cutting-edge industry achievements, including chrome-free ecological leather, leather-making waste liquid recycling technology, wool-based leather, and AI intelligent cutting. During the exhibition, more than 30 high-calibre events were also held, including the International Leather Industry Summit Forum, the 22nd International Footwear Technology Conference, and the China International Designers Summit Forum, covering trend guidance, technical seminars, international summits, and new product launches.

    For local Chinese enterprises, this exhibition is a strategic gateway to showcase technological strength, connect with global resources, and expand into domestic and international markets. Leveraging China's industrial advantages as the world's largest leather producer and consumer, the exhibition offers companies an excellent opportunity to engage directly with global procurement decision-makers and secure international orders. At the 2025 exhibition, Shengyuan Company signed nearly 60 orders on site, with order value exceeding RMB 100 million; the Zhaoyuan pavilion also recorded total transactions of over RMB 100 million, and Dongming Leather Company's order volume far exceeded expectations. The exhibition also helps companies transform from “scale expansion” to “value deepening”, achieving an upgrade from “manufacturing” to “intelligent manufacturing”.
