CMA CGM returns to CIIE in Shanghai from November 5-10, 2026, showcasing logistics solutions and reaffirming commitment to the Chinese market.
CMA CGM will exhibit at the China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, 2026. This marks the shipping and logistics group's ninth consecutive year at the event, which it has attended every year since the expo launched in 2018. At Booth #B2-05 in Hall 2.2 of the National Exhibition and Convention Center, CMA CGM teams will present the group's logistics solutions, value-added services, and digital tools to customers, partners, and industry leaders worldwide.
CMA CGM's return comes as international businesses continue to treat China's import market as a strategic priority. For companies moving goods into China, the expo is a practical forum to discuss market entry, supply chain planning, and the cost of moving goods across borders.
CMA CGM's unbroken run at CIIE places the group among the expo's long-standing exhibitors. Organizers reported that 180 enterprises took part in all eight editions held through 2025, showing how many multinational companies treat the event as a fixed date on their annual calendar.
For CMA CGM, which is headquartered in Marseille, France, the ninth appearance reinforces a commitment to the Chinese market that spans the expo's entire history. Each edition has given the group a direct channel to the importers, exporters, and logistics partners who shape trade flows into one of the world's largest consumer markets.
CIIE was launched in 2018 as the world's first national-level expo dedicated to imports. China's Ministry of Commerce and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government host it. The event was designed to open China's domestic market to foreign goods and services and has since become a key international platform for trade, cooperation, and new business opportunities.
China has been the world's second-largest import market for 16 consecutive years, according to the country's Ministry of Commerce. That scale is a major draw for exhibitors, from global manufacturers to small and medium-sized enterprises seeking a foothold in the country.
