Shenzhen International Textile Fabrics and Accessories Exhibition

The Exhibition Value of the Shenzhen Textile Fabric Show

• Intertextile Shenzhen, the largest and most influential professional textile fabric event in South China, was upgraded in 2020 to the “Greater Bay Area International Textile Fabric and Accessories Expo.” Leveraging Shenzhen’s strategic position as the core hub of the fashion industry in the Greater Bay Area, it is now held in tandem with the Yarn Expo, the Apparel Expo, and the Knitwear Expo, forming a comprehensive platform that connects global textile supply-chain resources, showcases cutting-edge technological advancements, and sets the tone for industry trends. Co-organized by Messe Frankfurt (Hong Kong) Ltd., the Textile Industry Branch of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, and the Shenzhen Garment Industry Association, the exhibition takes place annually at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center (Futian). The 2026 edition will be held from June 9 to 11.
• The core value of participation lies in its unique ability to serve as a precise link between the fashion industry clusters of the Greater Bay Area and a highly concentrated pool of professional buyers. As a vital center for fashion production and design, South China continues to thrive, hosting thousands of fashion brands across multiple sectors. In 2025, the exhibition spanned 45,000 square meters, bringing together 650 exhibitors from 13 countries and regions, and attracting 40,000 professional visitors from 64 countries and regions. These attendees include decision-makers across the entire value chain—garment manufacturers, trading companies, importers/exporters, wholesalers/distributors, agents, retailers/chain stores, purchasing offices, designers, and studios—providing participating companies with a strategic gateway to engage directly with key procurement decision-makers in the Greater Bay Area.
• The exhibition has established a one-stop commercial platform covering the entire textile value chain. Exhibits are organized into thematic zones, including formal wear fabrics, women’s fashion fabrics, casual wear fabrics, functional/sportswear fabrics, denim, shirt fabrics, leather/fur fabrics, lingerie fabrics, wedding/gown fabrics, infant and children’s fabrics, pattern design, accessory innovations, and related products and services, creating a complete industrial ecosystem from fiber to finished garment. Held concurrently with the yarnexpo Greater Bay Area International Yarn Expo, CHIC Greater Bay Area International Apparel and Accessories Expo, and PH Value Greater Bay Area International Knitwear Expo, this four-exhibition synergy makes it the largest specialized textile trade show in the Greater Bay Area.
• The exhibition aligns with three major industry trends—AI empowerment, sustainable fashion, and digital design—establishing a robust technological hub through deep integration of industry, academia, research, and application. At the 2025 event, the Artificial Intelligence Design Lab (AiDLab) showcased AI-driven solutions tailored for apparel and textiles, developing innovative applications in garment inspection and fashion design. Many visitors expressed keen interest in these AI-powered design tools. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong Fur Association promoted sustainable and ethical practices integrated into modern fur production, drawing significant attention from buyers and fostering collaborative opportunities in both women’s and men’s fashion segments. Mr. Lee De-won, a buyer from South Korea, noted that exhibitors this year demonstrated marked improvements in quality and scale, offering diverse styles and materials, and he has already identified several high-quality Chinese products worth recommending to his clients.
• The exhibition brings together international premium suppliers, further enhancing its global reach. In 2025, exhibitors from 14 countries and regions—including France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam—presented top-tier fabrics and accessories. A sales manager from Italy’s Polycarpo reported receiving a diversified clientele, primarily domestic customers but also numerous European buyers, noting a significant increase in visitor numbers compared to the previous edition and expressing plans to continue participating in Shanghai exhibitions.
• Backed by Messe Frankfurt Group’s global network, the exhibition provides enterprises with a strategic pathway to expand into domestic and international markets. As one of the world’s renowned textile fabric series, the Intertextile brand has upheld principles of professionalism and trade since its inception in 1995, earning consistent acclaim from industry stakeholders. For the 2026 edition, the exhibition is expected to cover 37,500–45,000 square meters, host 900 exhibitors, and attract 17,664 professional visitors. Participating companies can leverage this platform to connect with core procurement networks in the Greater Bay Area, seizing early opportunities in the digital, intelligent, and sustainable transformation of the textile industry.
