Anticipation is building for Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Autumn Edition, opening its doors from 2 – 4 September at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). The fair is set to welcome over 3,700 exhibitors from 26 countries and regions, ready to connect with multitudes of international and domestic buyers, and foster global collaboration. The fair will feature nine country and region pavilions and zones, as well as eight group pavilions from some of the industry’s biggest players, all showcasing the best in textile design and innovation. Eight overseas buyer delegations will also be in attendance, facilitating valuable business exchange on an international scale.
In recent years, Intertextile Apparel has renewed the emphasis on its four focus themes: fashion fabrics and accessories, functional fashion, sustainability, and innovation and digital transformation. These themes are featured across the show floor and its various categories, with exhibitors spread across nine halls covering accessories and fabrics for casualwear, children & infants wear, denim, functional wear & sportswear, ladieswear, lingerie, and suiting & shirting.
Complementing the extensive exhibitor showcases, visitors can engage with a captivating fringe programme designed to inspire and inform. Taking place on the first two days of the fair, a total of 37 seminars will provide fairgoers with a holistic view of the four key themes that shape the future of the apparel textile industry: Design & Trends, Market Information & Business Strategies, Technology & Solutions, and Texpertise Econogy. A comprehensive online event calendar is available to help attendees optimise their engagement, with featured events in each category including discussions led by WGSN, AFTEX, HKRITA, and the OEKO-TEX Association, respectively.
Attracted by the fair’s comprehensive offerings, many international buyers treat the Autumn Edition as a top priority. In addition to individual buyers, the show will welcome a range of key overseas buyer delegations, from countries including Bangladesh, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. The Autumn Edition will also welcome first-time delegations from Brazil and Türkiye.
