Messe München announced last week that this year’s transport logistic China and air cargo China will be a great deal larger than its predecessors. The event organizers have increased the exhibition space to meet the strong organic growth in demand. With over 600 company registrations already noted, the events are currently expected to attract circa 850 exhibitors. 794 companies exhibited in 2024. As a consequence, Messe München predicts around 40,000 visitors in 2026, which would be an increase of 4,000 on 2024. And the events are drawing a more diverse audience, too, since around 50 countries are expected in 2026. Two years ago, the countries numbered 42.
“Five country pavilions are currently planned, representing Germany, Singapore, Slovenia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey,” the release explains, emphasizing the growth particularly in the air cargo segment. “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. […] 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.”
Dr. Robert Schönberger, Global Industry Lead at Messe München, concluded: “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. 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.”
