Saudi Fabric & Yarn Exhibition (Riyadh)Saudi ​Fabric&Yarn

The Saudi Fabric & Yarn Exhibition (Riyadh) is part of Saudi Arabia's first and most inclusive industry platform, bringing together manufacturers, traders, and suppliers to connect, collaborate, sign contracts, and conduct business at a single large-scale event.

The scale of local textile production in Saudi Arabia is relatively small, with a significant gap in technological level and product quality compared to imported goods. Textiles and apparel from Vietnam, China, India, South Korea, Japan, and the US compete fiercely in the Saudi market. According to market research by the Chinese trade office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's textile imports have been expanding year by year in recent years. In particular, imports of fabrics for traditional men's and women's clothing have increased, driving up demand for mid-to-high-end textile products, while imports of low-end fabrics have declined. The annual import value of cotton, wool, and natural fiber blended products exceeds USD 68 million.

China supplies 90% of Saudi Arabia's apparel and textiles. Driven by the retail fashion market, the Saudi apparel and textile sector has become one of the fastest-growing markets in the Arab region. Sales are heavily concentrated in the three major cities of Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. Saudi Arabia is widely regarded as one of the most dynamic and attractive apparel and textile markets globally.

As the most rapidly developing textile and yarn exhibition in the Middle East and Gulf region, it has significantly boosted regional economic growth and development. The Saudi Fabric & Yarn Exhibition (Riyadh) attracted 418 exhibitors from various countries and drew 26,000 visitors. This exhibition is undoubtedly the most effective gateway for entering the textile and yarn market in the Middle East and Gulf region.
