From June 24 to 26, 2026, Transport Logistic Shanghai 2026 brought together leading players from the transport, logistics, mobility and supply chain sectors at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. With record-breaking attendance, this edition confirmed the exhibition’s position as one of the leading professional events in the Asia-Pacific region.
Over the course of these three days, manufacturers, transport operators, equipment providers and supply chain experts exchanged insights into the evolution of international trade flows, the needs of Asian markets and new multimodal solutions.
Transport Logistic Shanghai 2026 in Figures
The 2026 edition stood out for its high attendance. In this context, the Eurotainer teams had the opportunity to engage in numerous discussions about tank container leasing and the specific requirements associated with the transport of liquids and gases.
This edition brought together:
- 939 exhibitors from 58 countries
- 47,031 trade visitors
- Participants from 121 countries and regions
- More than 30% more visitors compared with 2024
These results illustrate both the event’s growing scale and its ability to bring together a particularly diverse logistics ecosystem.
Strong International Participation Driven by Asian Markets
The international scope of the exhibition was reflected in the presence of visitors and companies from major markets such as China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Kazakhstan.
Other countries closely connected to global supply chains were also represented, including Germany, Saudi Arabia and Russia. This attendance highlighted the strong participation of Asian economies and placed the Asia-Pacific region at the centre of discussions.
In this respect, Shanghai serves as a strategic meeting point connecting Chinese domestic flows, Asian regional corridors and major international trade routes.
Containers at the Heart of Multimodal Supply Chains
Containers play an essential role in ensuring the continuity of supply chains. For liquids, liquefied gases and cryogenic gases, tank containers provide specific solutions in terms of safety, reliability and operational flexibility. Ensuring that the right equipment is available in the right place at the right time is also a critical consideration, particularly for companies managing both Chinese domestic flows and international operations.
Strategic Discussions with the Eurotainer Teams
Eurotainer’s presence at Transport Logistic Shanghai 2026 enabled its teams to meet with numerous customers, partners, container operators, manufacturers and logistics professionals active in China and across international markets.
The discussions focused on current equipment requirements, as well as future projects, operational constraints and opportunities for long-term collaboration.
The diversity of the industry professionals attending the event demonstrated the market’s interest in flexible leasing solutions adapted to different types of flows, particularly:
- The leasing of ISO tank containers for domestic and international operations
- Equipment availability in Asia and support for future requirements
- The transport of liquids, liquefied gases and cryogenic gases
- Supply chain optimisation and the development of long-term partnerships
Diversified Requirements for the Transport of Liquids and Gases
The meetings also confirmed the wide range of applications associated with tank containers. ISO tank containers for liquids meet the requirements of numerous industrial sectors seeking a standardised intermodal solution.
Gas tank containers are designed for the transport and storage of liquefied gases for the chemical, petrochemical and energy industries.
Cryogenic tank containers are specifically suited to products maintained at extremely low temperatures and meet the requirements of the medical, pharmaceutical, electronics and semiconductor industries.
Designed for smaller volumes, Small Portable Tanks provide a flexible solution for the transport and storage of speciality chemicals, technical fluids and products used in specific industrial applications. Some industrial projects also require specialised equipment configured according to the nature of the product, operating conditions or supply chain constraints. The Eurotainer range includes containers for liquids, gases and cryogenic products, as well as Small Portable Tanks.
Asia, a Strategic Market for the Development of Tank Container Leasing
Asia’s industrial dynamism, the growth of regional trade and the development of international connections are increasing the need for readily available, flexible and reliable equipment. For manufacturers and logistics operators, leasing provides access to suitable containers without tying up the financial resources required to purchase them.
This approach can also make it easier to adjust capacity in line with changes in projects, volumes and the geographical areas served.
Eurotainer’s presence in Shanghai therefore reflects its commitment to remaining close to regional stakeholders and developing a detailed understanding of the requirements of the Chinese and wider Asian markets.
