Taking place at the Shanghai New International Exhibition Center (SNIEC) in the Pudong district of Shanghai between September 3-5, 2025, Moda China aims to bring the whole leather value chain under one single event.

Speaking at the ACLE press conference during APLF Hong Kong on March 13, Zhang Yan, Secretary General of the China Leather Industry Association (CLIA), told ILM that forward bookings for the new event were on track with most of the companies exhibiting coming from within China.

The new event will cover 23,000 sq m and aims to attract China and overseas manufacturers of footwear, bags, garment and accessories and will be aimed at finished product buyers.

ACLE 2025 will take place in seven halls of SNIEC covering 66,000 sq m of exhibition space. In the 2024 edition, buyer visits increased by 10% and visitors from mainland China increased by 24.9% compared with the previous year.

2025 will mark the 25th edition of ACLE, which is co-organised by CLIA and APLF. In recent years, the fair has been a platform for suppliers to reach the domestic Chinese market and has a large presence of international chemicals, machinery and raw materials suppliers in attendance.
