Co‑organized by authoritative bodies including the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce, the Shaoxing Municipal People’s Government, and the Zhejiang Committee of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, the expo leverages Keqiao’s industrial advantage as “Asia’s largest light‑textile market,” earning widespread recognition within the industry as a global benchmark for textile accessories and a central platform integrating domestic and international trade.
- A One‑Stop Procurement Platform Covering the Entire Industry Chain: The expo encompasses the full spectrum of the textile value chain, including various fabrics—cotton, linen, silk, wool, synthetic fibers, knitted fabrics, functional textiles—and auxiliary materials such as zippers, buttons, interlinings, trims, and ribbons, alongside home textile products, textile raw materials, dyeing and printing technologies, textile machinery, and design software.

The Keqiao area and its surroundings host tens of thousands of textile enterprises, forming a complete industrial chain that spans raw materials, weaving, dyeing, and finished garments.
