Intertextile Beijing Apparel Fabrics opens for three days on 28 March 2012 and will house a complete range of apparel fabrics and accessories targeting mass to luxury market buyers.
The most international show to date presents more than 1,300 suppliers (335 exhibitors from outside of China) from 16 countries and regions including Austria (1 exhibitors), China (1016 exhibitors), Germany (13 exhibitors), Hong Kong (22 exhibitors), India (2 exhibitors), Italy (106 exhibitors), Japan (13 exhibitors), Korea (70 exhibitors), Pakistan (9 exhibitors), Portugal (7 exhibitors), Singapore (1 exhibitors), Spain (1 exhibitors), Switzerland (4 exhibitors), Taiwan (28 exhibitors), Turkey (9 exhibitors) and the UK (6 exhibitors). Much of the growth has come from international exhibitors, up 22% from 2011.
“High quality and internationally-made apparel fabrics and accessories imports are on the rise, driven by China's increasingly sophisticated middle class,” stated Ms Wendy Wen, Director for Trade Fairs, Messe Frankfurt HK Ltd.
According to China's National Bureau of Statistics, retail sales grew by 17% to RMB18.12 trillion (US$2.88 trillion) in 2011. Ms Wen spoke optimistically: “As market demand for quality made clothing continues to grow in China, it seems likely that the mid to premium textile market will further develop along with the Intertextile Beijing Apparel Fabrics show, in particular SalonEurope.”
