Yarn Expo Autumn 2017 to kick-off from October 11

Suppliers from Asian and European countries will showcase their latest collection of natural and blended yarns including cotton, wool, flax / regenerated flax, and man-made fibres and yarns, as well as specialty products including elastic, fancy and blended yarns.

"Our Yarn Expo fairs have further solidified their status as amongst the best business platforms in the yarn and fibre industry in recent years," said Wendy Wen, senior general manager, Messe Frankfurt (HK). "The dynamism of a number of industry sectors in Asia recently has ensured that, each March and October, Shanghai is the place to be to discover the latest innovations, see all the industry leaders under one roof and place orders for the upcoming season. In particular, we are seeing strong demand for chemical fibres from emerging countries in Asia at present, as well as a lot of innovation happening with fancy yarns which is attracting buyers from the likes of Indonesia, India and Korea. Yarn Expo has also proved a successful platform for Uzbekistan suppliers to launch their products in China, and they are doing well in this market vis-à-vis their more established competitors."

Apart from India Pavilion and Birla Planet Pavilion, Uzbekistan and Pakistan exhibitors will further enrich the sourcing options for buyers with their cotton yarns. Uzbek cotton now accounts for over 80 per cent of the total cotton consumption in Hebei province of Northern China.

Along with Yarn Expo Autumn 201, three other textile trade fairs are held concurrently from October 11-13 in the same venue - Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Autumn Edition, PH Value and the China International Fashion Fair.
