The National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) (hereinafter referred to as the NECC (Shanghai)), dubbed as the Four Leaf Clover has become a new magnet and growth pole for the exhibition industry in Shanghai. As revealed by Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, a total of 318 exhibitions (up by 11.9% year on year) were held in major exhibition venues in Shanghai in the first half of the year with a total exhibition area of 6.5219 million square meters (up by 24.6% year on year). Officially Opened for operation in March 2015, the NECC (Shanghai) has a total construction area of 1.8688 million square meters, accounting for 28.6% of the total construction area for exhibition venues in Shanghai. So far, the NECC (Shanghai) has attracted about 3 million exhibitors and visitors both from home and abroad.

A total of 4 million square meters of exhibition has been signed up in the NECC (Shanghai) this year, including a number of mega exhibitions with a single exhibition covering over 300,000 square meters of area such as Auto Shanghai and CMEF exhibitions that were held in the first half of the year and Furniture China to be held in September this year. The NECC (Shanghai) is expected to bring an increment of 2 million square meters to the exhibition industry in Shanghai.

Statistics also show that a total of 131 international exhibitions (up by 6.5% year on year) with a total of 5.2867 million square meters were held in Shanghai in the first half of the year, an increase of 26.8% year-on-year. The double-digit increase in exhibition area of international exhibitions indicates that the exhibition level and international influence of Shanghai’s exhibition industry is increasing sharply.

Starting from the first exhibition held in early March, a total of about 900,000 meals has been sold in exhibitions held the NECC (Shanghai).
