This November, Melbourne will once again transform into the heart of global trade as the Global Sourcing Expo returns to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) from Tuesday 18 – Thursday 20 November 2025. Recognised as the leading sourcing marketplace in the region, the Expo connects international manufacturers and suppliers with thousands of Australian and New Zealand buyers, offering unparalleled opportunities for business growth, trend discovery, and global networking.
The 2024 Melbourne edition welcomed 900+ exhibitors from over 20 countries and regions, attracting 4,700+ professional attendees — a 24% increase from the previous year. This strong growth underscores both the Expo’s influence and the growing demand for in-person sourcing opportunities.
The 2025 edition is set to exceed expectations, drawing more than 5,000 buyers, designers and decision-makers who are ready to discover, compare, and partner with international suppliers.
For manufacturers and suppliers worldwide, the Global Sourcing Expo Melbourne is more than just a trade show — it is a gateway to the Indo-Pacific market, one of the fastest growing consumer regions in the world. By showcasing in Melbourne, businesses gain direct access to decision-makers from Australia and New Zealand who are actively seeking quality, scale, and innovation across key categories: apparel, textiles, home furnishings, footwear, and accessories.
Adding to the international breadth of the event, the 2025 Melbourne Expo will once again feature the co-located China Clothing Textile Accessories Expo, further expanding opportunities for buyers to access a diverse range of products and suppliers.
