A Phenomenal Success: CITEXPO 2024 Shines as Asia Pacific’s Largest Tire Expo!


The 19th China International Tire Expo (CITEXPO) 2024, held from September 4-6 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, was a resounding success, further cementing its status as the largest tire exhibition in the Asia Pacific region. Since its launch in 2003, CITEXPO has been a key platform for tire and wheel manufacturers to showcase their products and innovations. This year marked a major milestone as the exhibition expanded to occupy both Hall 1 and Hall 4 for the first time, allowing for a larger number of exhibitors and a broader range of tire & wheel products and technologies.

Hall 4 was home to the sub-show, CITWTEXPO (China International Tire & Wheel Technology Expo), which focused on the technological advancements in tire production. While CITEXPO primarily centered on tire and wheel trade and sales, CITWTEXPO attracted strong interest by showcasing tire production machinery, testing and diagnostic tools, tire manufacturing equipment, and materials. The introduction of CITWTEXPO was met with enthusiasm from visitors, reflecting the increasing importance of technology and innovation in the tire production process.

CITEXPO 2024 featured over 350 exhibitors and attracted an impressive 12,000+ visitors from more than 130 countries, with nearly half of them coming from abroad. Most attendees were high-level executives, including C-level leaders, tire business owners, tire traders, importers, distributors, and other key decision-makers, affirming CITEXPO’s status as a premier event for industry professionals. The event drew a truly global audience, with visitors from all continents: 29% from Southeast Asia, 12% from East Asia, 18% from the Middle East, 17% from Europe (including Russia), 6% from South Asia, 5% from North America, and 4% each from Africa, South America, and Oceania. This diverse attendance underscores CITEXPO’s role as a must-attend event for professionals in the tire and wheel industries.




This year’s show achieved remarkable milestones, with 63.1% of visitors being new customers—a strong indicator of CITEXPO’s growing appeal and its successful outreach to fresh audiences. Furthermore, the number of foreign buyers increased by 36.7%, marking a significant expansion in CITEXPO’s international reach and influence. These achievements reflect the event’s enormous success this year, bolstering its reputation as a crucial global platform for the tire and wheel industry.

Exhibitors and participants were highly satisfied with the outcome of the show, as the satisfaction rate exceeded 95%. Many praised the excellent networking opportunities and the numerous tire and wheel trade agreements that took place. Some international buyers even took the opportunity to arrange factory visits to Chinese tire manufacturing companies, further enhancing business partnerships. The success of CITEXPO 2024 demonstrates the growing global collaboration within the tire and wheel industry and sets the stage for future growth and innovation.

CITEXPO is held once a year, bringing together the top players in the tire and wheel industries from around the world. It provides a unique platform for businesses to network, exchange ideas, and establish key partnerships in a rapidly evolving market. Next year, CITEXPO 2025 will return from September 3-5, 2025, at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. Mark your calendars and don't miss this premier event! Whether you're a manufacturer, supplier, trader, or decision-maker, CITEXPO 2025 is the place to be for anyone looking to stay ahead in the tire and wheel industry. See you next year!
