European exhibitors in particular are looking to take advantage of this increase in demand throughout Asia for premium overseas products. One of the most visited areas of the fair is always SalonEurope (hall W1), which this year boasts pavilions from France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Turkey and the UK, as well as the Milano Unica Pavilion. The fair is also popular with buyers for its diversity, with pavilions from Asian countries and regions (halls W2 & W3) featuring this year including India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.

Product zones tailored to match industry demand

Intertextile Shanghai is renowned for providing exhibitors with opportunities to take advantage of the latest apparel trends and growth areas, not just in China but throughout the global industry. To that end, this year’s Beyond Denim hall (hall W5) has been redesigned and enlarged to meet the growing demand for denim products – nearly 15% of buyers at last year’s fair were there to source denim. The expanded hall will be revamped by renowned French studio, the NellyRodiTM Agency, with a new energetic and young image, which will highlight wash innovations, new technologies, sustainable practices and a range of premium denim.
