Fashion will not be left behind in one of the world’s undisputed tech and manufacturing capitals. Which is why next week, at Intertextile Shenzhen Apparel Fabrics and Yarn Expo Shenzhen 2026, the organisers have made special efforts to integrate textile topics such as materials innovation, holistic sustainability, digitalisation and AI. Yet, from 9 – 11 June at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center, the platform also includes timeless tradition and heritage-inspired evolution in equal measure. Across both shows, over 600 exhibitors from 11 countries and regions are set to showcase everything from Peruvian alpaca wool fabrics to tea-derived fibres, while their fringe programmes will explore diverse solutions along the entire value chain.
With visitors expected to hail from across the Greater Bay Area, other parts of China, Asia and beyond, accessibility is key. Located centrally in Futian, the fairs cover around 45,000 sqm in the venue’s interconnected Halls 1 and 9, and there will be much for fairgoers to explore. Alongside a robust programme of fringe events and cutting-edge designer display areas, the fairs will provide a key platform for exhibitors from China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Peru, the US, and Vietnam. Notably, a contingent of Japanese suppliers will gather in Intertextile Shenzhen’s Japan Zone.
Alongside the booths, various expert-led fringe events will take place at Textile Dialogue (Hall 1) and Talking Point (Hall 9), covering four themes: Design & Trends, Technology & Solutions, Econogy Talks and Market Information & Business Strategies. At the intersection of all four themes is the Future Horizons Forum, with topics covering the next wave of textile innovation, pathways to a sustainable future, and AI applications for fashion. Meanwhile, the Innovation Studio will showcase curated displays from the Asia International Hemp Federation; School of Fashion and Textiles, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University; the Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong; and Wuyi University, all a short distance from the informative display at the Digital Innovation Exploration Space.
Several exhibitors will take full advantage of the fair’s engagement opportunities, with its fringe programme hosting nearly 20 product presentations and seminars unpacking the industry’s latest developments, emerging trends, and changing market dynamics. Additionally, Yarn Expo Shenzhen will welcome two highlighted events: the New Fibre New World – Textile Materials Innovation Forum and the Tongkun – China Fibre Fashion Trends Display Zone.
Across both fairs, buyers will have the opportunity to source a wide variety of accessories, fibres, yarns, fabrics and garments, with the concurrently held PH Value presenting a unique blend of knitted fabrics.
