After celebrating 30 years of actively contributing to the advancement of China’s home and contract textile sector, Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles has once again drawn curtains at the National Exhibition and Convention Center. From 14 to 16 August, Asia’s leading industry platform hosted 946 exhibitors from 15 countries and regions, who engaged with more than 35,000 visitors from 108 countries and regions across the four-hall, 100,000 sqm exhibition space. Visitor numbers increased by 10% overall compared to the previous edition, with 13% of the total made up of overseas buyers, further highlighting the show’s internationality.
“For our 30th anniversary, the fairground was overflowing with dynamic interactions from enthusiastic industry players – said Wilmet Shea, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt – from 123 exhibitors at the first cross-sector Intertextile fair to around 1,000 exhibitors in just the home textile segment this year. The fair now offers 14 product zones with a comprehensive selection of products, catering to international and domestic visitors across the industry. Over the next decades, we look forward to new chapters, as we continue to keep pace with the everchanging industry and buyer demands.”
With the support of Messe Frankfurt’s strong network across the global industry, Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles has become an inclusive business platform that connects major industry players from the East and West. Comprising the Türkiye Pavilion, Uzbekistan Pavilion, Belgium Zone and various individual overseas exhibitors, the stage was set for suppliers seeking business connections in the world’s leading textile production hub.
