Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Autumn Edition 2016 wrapped up last week with participants praising the quality and internationality of the fair’s 22nd edition.
After years of consecutive growth in the number of exhibitors, the 2016 show concluded similar in size to last year. The 4,553 exhibitors from 29 countries and regions (2015: 4,642 from 29 countries and regions) at this year’s fair attracted over 73,000 visitors from 90 countries and regions (2015: 66,256 from 97 countries and regions), a roughly 10% increase and a number which includes visitors who registered for the concurrent Yarn Expo Autumn, PH Value and CHIC fairs, and attended Intertextile Shanghai as well.
Wendy Wen, Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd., says, “For the last few years, even though Intertextile Shanghai has continued to grow in size, our priority has been to focus on the quality of exhibitors and buyers that participate here to ensure it remains the global industry’s leading business event every March and October.”
