Saudi Stitch & Tex ExpoSTITCH & TEX EXPO

Following the success of Egypt's EGY STITCH & TEX, the Saudi Stitch & Tex Expo (STITCH & TEX EXPO) serves as the Saudi edition of the Africa-Middle East touring exhibition series. It has played a significant role in driving Saudi Arabia's economic development and industrial advancement.

The Saudi Stitch & Tex Expo (STITCH & TEX EXPO) has attracted 418 exhibitors from various countries, drawing an audience of 26,000 visitors. For those looking to explore the Saudi market, this exhibition is undoubtedly the most effective gateway.

The local textile production scale 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 United States 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, alongside growing 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.

90% of Saudi Arabia's apparel and textiles are sourced from China. Driven by the retail fashion market, Saudi Arabia's 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. The Saudi Stitch & Tex Expo (STITCH & TEX EXPO) serves as the premier trade platform for Chinese textile machinery and fabric manufacturers to expand into Middle Eastern markets.
