The inaugural Jeddah International Leather Industries and Products Exhibition (JILIE 2026), a premier strategic nexus for this sector, will take place in the cutting-edge Jeddah Superdome from September 6 to 8, 2026.

The retail, manufacturing, and industrial trade sectors in Saudi Arabia continue to present previously unheard-of development prospects throughout the Middle East and North Africa, propelled by the strategic economic expansion under Saudi Vision 2030. As the region’s specialised commercial platform for the leather trade, JILIE provides an indispensable B2B hub uniting international manufacturers, master craftsmen, global brands, wholesalers, regional distributors, design professionals, and institutional buyers. Besides, the exhibition showcases the entire value chain of the leather ecosystem, featuring premium raw materials, advanced tanning machinery, sustainable production technologies, luxury footwear, bespoke leather apparel, high-end travel gear, and specialised accessories. Set in Jeddah—the Western Province’s vibrant commercial gateway—this essential three-day event accelerates cross-border trade, facilitates direct sourcing agreements, and encourages high-value supply chain partnerships. Furthermore, by connecting world-class global suppliers with regional decision-makers and investors seeking to capitalise on Saudi Arabia’s booming luxury consumer demand, JILIE 2026 establishes a crucial foundation for modernising regional leather manufacturing, promoting sustainable processing innovations, and driving long-term commercial growth throughout the Kingdom’s evolving industrial landscape.
