Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Autumn Edition 2025: A Global Hub for Apparel Innovation

The world’s apparel and textile industry is set to gather once again at the Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Autumn Edition, one of the most comprehensive exhibitions for fabrics and accessories worldwide. Taking place from 2–4 September 2025 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC), Shanghai, the event promises unmatched opportunities for sourcing, networking, and discovering the future of fashion textiles.

A World-Class Sourcing Platform

For international suppliers, Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics provides an exceptional gateway to the Asian market. Exhibitors have the chance to meet new customers, strengthen existing partnerships, and showcase the latest innovations to an influential global audience. With both spring and autumn editions, the fair has become an essential platform for overseas brands seeking to build stronger relationships in China and across the wider region.

Record Success in 2024

Last year’s edition underscored the fair’s global significance:

• 240,000 sqm of exhibition space
• Nearly 4,000 exhibitors from 26 countries and regions
• Over 100,000 visitors from 115 countries and regions

This scale confirms Intertextile Shanghai’s position as a leading international hub for apparel fabrics and accessories, attracting decision-makers, designers, and trendsetters from across the supply chain.

Beyond Sourcing: A Platform for Innovation

“While Intertextile may be the world’s largest sourcing hub for apparel textiles, it is so much more than that,” said Wilmet Shea, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. “Industry players from all over the world come here seeking inspiration and innovation for the constantly evolving textile market. For 30 years, this fair has grown and stayed relevant by consistently moving with the times – hence the launch of our new Econogy Hub and Digital Solutions Zone, as well as an expanded fringe programme covering topics from compliance testing to generative AI in textile design. These insights are crucial for companies operating in a sustainable, technology-driven future.”
