Next week’s Yarn Expo Shenzhen to grow sustainable and technical potential

3 Nov 2023

Shenzhen, 3 November 2023. Following China’s return to in-person business, this year marks the rejuvenation of the global yarn and fibre industry. Building on the momentum of Yarn Expo's business-friendly spring and autumn editions in Shanghai, Yarn Expo Shenzhen will be held from 6 – 8 November 2023, in Hall 9 at Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center. Taking up 10,000 sqm of exhibition space, the fair will bring together nearly 100 exhibitors from four countries and regions, with a strong focus on eco-friendly and innovational yarn and fibre products.

One of Asia’s largest year-end sourcing events for yarns and fibres, Yarn Expo Shenzhen will present industry players with the opportunity to penetrate the South China and wider Asia-Pacific markets. According to recent market research[1], the global textile yarn industry is projected to reach USD 18.5 billion by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period. Asia-Pacific will marginally stretch its lead as the major contributor, with a predicted CAGR of 5.2% set to increase its value to USD 13.6 billion by 2028.

Ms Wilmet Shea, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, addressed the main focus of this year’s fair: “As the Greater Bay Area’s major yarn and fibre trading platform, the industry has been eagerly awaiting Yarn Expo Shenzhen's return. In the past few years, the market has grown, fuelled by consumer demand and advances in research and development, with buyers increasingly on the lookout for various innovations including recycled, biodegradable, and other high-performance, eco-friendly products.”

In response to downstream enterprises moving towards this new normal, suppliers at Yarn Expo Shenzhen will showcase a wide array of related products to visitors from across the industry value chain. Highlighted exhibitors include:
