The Value of Participating in the Hangzhou International Textile Supply Chain Expo
- The Hangzhou International Textile Supply Chain Expo (TSCI) is one of China’s largest and most influential specialized exhibitions in the textile supply chain sector. Since its inception, it has been held multiple times, focusing on cutting-edge areas such as digital printing, intelligent apparel manufacturing, and dyeing and finishing. Widely recognized within the industry as a pivotal platform driving digital transformation and upgrading intelligent manufacturing in the textile sector. Organized by authoritative entities such as Fangke Holdings and Mihong Exhibition, the expo takes place annually in Hangzhou. Leveraging Hangzhou’s strategic position as China’s capital of women’s fashion and live‑stream e‑commerce, it has become a key platform for connecting global textile supply chain resources, showcasing advanced technological breakthroughs, and guiding industry development trends.
- The core value of participation lies in its precise focus on “digital intelligence empowerment” and its highly concentrated pool of professional buyers. The expo brings together resources spanning the entire textile supply chain—from digital printing equipment, dyeing technologies, intelligent apparel manufacturing machinery, and new textile materials. In 2025, TSCI was held concurrently with the GESC International Apparel Supply Chain Industry Expo and the Landfall International Children’s Wear Expo, covering an exhibition area of 60,000 square meters. Over 700 renowned domestic and international companies participated, attracting more than 15,000 professional visitors, including over 1,000 international attendees—an impressive increase compared to 2024. Professional buyers encompass apparel brands, e‑commerce platforms, foreign trade firms, livestreaming agencies, and other diverse channels, providing exhibitors with a strategic gateway directly to key decision‑makers in procurement.
- The expo establishes a one‑stop commercial platform covering the entire textile supply chain. Exhibits range from digital printing equipment (including elliptical printers, reactive direct‑print machines, and heat‑transfer devices) to dyeing and finishing machinery, intelligent sewing systems, apparel CAD/CAM solutions, new textile materials, and eco‑friendly dyeing aids—covering every segment of the industry. From design software to production equipment, from raw materials to finished products, a complete industrial ecosystem is formed. The expo features dedicated zones such as the POD Digital Customization Supply Chain Area and the Digital Printing Innovation Zone, spotlighting flexible supply chains, AI‑driven design, and one‑piece minimum order business models.
- The expo aligns closely with three major industry trends—digital transformation, flexible supply chains, and cross‑border e‑commerce—creating a high‑tech hub for deep collaboration among academia, industry, research institutes, and end users. In 2025, alongside the expo, the POD Digital Customization Supply Chain Summit and the 10th Apparel Digital Printing Innovation Summit were held, inviting executives and industry experts from companies such as Lingtu AI, TEMU, Style3D, and Quan Yin Graphic. Discussions centered on topics like redefining POD business logic through AI technology, achieving ultra‑fast 72‑hour delivery via super‑factory models, promoting zero‑inventory revolutions through “one‑piece minimum orders,” and empowering cross‑border e‑commerce with fully automated POD factories. Onsite transactions were brisk, with many exhibitors’ machines sold out on the first day, and direct order volumes increasing by 40% year over year, vividly illustrating the expo’s exceptional commercial conversion efficiency.
- For Chinese enterprises, this expo serves as a strategic gateway for expanding into global markets, connecting with international resources, and showcasing innovative capabilities. Leveraging Hangzhou’s status as the “No. 1 City of the Digital Economy,” the expo gathers buyers from across China and around the world, providing a highly efficient channel for textile companies seeking overseas expansion. In 2025, overseas attendance surged compared to 2024, and the on‑site trading atmosphere was exceptionally vibrant. Exhibitors can use this platform to connect with global procurement networks and seize early opportunities in the digital, intelligent, and flexible transformation of the textile industry.
