The 2024 edition attracted 794 exhibitors from 42 countries and regions, nearly 60% of whom were international participants, while professional visitors numbered 36,000, spanning 92 countries and territories.
• Synergy with the Asia Logistics Biennial: As a core component of transport logistic China, the Asia Logistics Biennial, the two events are co-located and staged concurrently, enabling resource integration and synergistic effects. Together, they bring together over 800 sea‑, land‑, and air‑based logistics service providers, a combined exhibition space of 50,000 square meters, and an audience of 40,000 professional visitors.
