Hangzhou International Textile Supply Chain Industry Expo

The 2025 TSCI International Textile Supply Chain Industry Expo was successfully held from April 21 to 23, 2025, at the Hangzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center. Co-hosted by Fangke Holdings and Mihong Exhibition, this edition of the expo took place concurrently with the GESC International Apparel Supply Chain Industry Expo and the Landfall International Children’s Wear Expo, marking a major annual event in the textile supply chain sector.

In terms of scale, the expo spanned 60,000 square meters, bringing together over 700 exhibitors from around the globe. Total professional visitor attendance exceeded 15,000, including more than 1,000 international visitors—representing explosive growth compared to the same period in 2024. Exhibitors showcased cutting-edge technologies and products across key sectors, such as digital printing, dyeing and finishing, intelligent apparel manufacturing, and new textile materials. On-site transactions were robust, with several leading companies’ exhibit machines fully booked on the first day alone. Direct order placements increased by 40% year over year, and over 60% of exhibitors closed immediate deals during the event.

This year’s expo featured numerous highlights, with digital printing and intelligent manufacturing emerging as central attractions. Ruiyin unveiled its elliptical 12-head Kyocera digital printer, securing an order from Jiangkou Digital Printing on the very first day. Meanwhile, DPI’s 24-head Kyocera reactive direct‑inkjet machine won a repeat purchase from Hangzhou Saikesi. Demonstrating strong confidence in DPI’s offerings, Hangzhou Saikesi finalized an equipment procurement agreement on site, further cementing the expo’s appeal. Many booths prominently displayed signs such as “Machines Sold Out” and “Orders Flood In,” underscoring surging industry demand and exhibitors’ exceptional conversion rates.

Complementary events added depth, establishing a high‑level platform for industry dialogue. On the afternoon of April 21, the POD Digital Customization Supply Chain Summit convened, featuring speakers including Jason, CEO of Lingtu AI; Director Lin, Head of Sales Operations; Tang Songming, Senior Operations Manager for TEMU Women’s Wear; and Luo Qinchuan, Operations Manager for TEMU Men’s Wear. They explored the deep integration of AI technology, cross‑border e‑commerce, and flexible supply chains, highlighting key trends such as how AI tools are reshaping POD industry dynamics, breaking spatial and temporal constraints in global supply chains, and enabling cross‑border platforms to serve as powerful growth engines for POD enterprises. On April 22, the 10th Apparel Digital Printing Innovation Summit brought together heavyweight guests—including Zhu Lijun, General Manager of Yin Zhangmen Apparel Technology; Hu Yuhuan, Digitalization Consultant at Style3D; and Mei Lianjun, General Manager of Quan Yin Graphic & Text—under the theme “Digital Intelligence Without Boundaries, Empowering Innovation.” They shared pioneering practices, including how super‑factory models resolve the tension between customization and scalability, how AI‑driven technologies streamline the entire design‑to‑production workflow, how the “one‑piece minimum order” business model validates the profitability of single‑item production, and how fully automated POD factories can boost cross‑border e‑commerce efficiency by up to 300%.

The professional audience was exceptionally strong, with an unprecedented level of international participation. The expo drew apparel brands, e‑commerce platforms, foreign trade firms, livestreaming agencies, and professional buyers from across China, while overseas attendance surged compared to the same period in 2024. Exhibitors and buyers engaged in lively exchanges, with inquiries, negotiations, and contract signings occurring throughout the venue. Participating companies widely reported that the quality of professional visitors was high, with clear purchasing objectives, resulting in highly effective business matchmaking on site.

The expo yielded significant outcomes and received enthusiastic industry acclaim. Exhibitors emphasized that TSCI is not only an outstanding platform for brand exposure and commercial connections but also a critical hub for gaining insights into textile supply chain trends and exploring pathways toward digital transformation and flexible manufacturing. With the rise of distributed manufacturing and carbon‑footprint visualization, digital printing will increasingly integrate with new retail models, ushering in an era where “what you see is what you get.” Attendees agreed that TSCI offers a replicable innovation framework for the digital transformation of traditional textile industries, setting a new benchmark for flexible supply chains.
