Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles – Autumn Edition 2025

The leading home textile event in Asia, Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles – Autumn Edition, will return from 20–22 August 2025 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), bringing together global industry players for sourcing, innovation, and collaboration.

Organized by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, the Sub-Council of Textile Industry (CCPIT), and the China Home Textile Association (CHTA), the 2025 edition aims to build on the strong momentum from 2024, where the fair welcomed 946 exhibitors and over 35,000 visitors from 108 countries across a 100,000 sqm exhibition space.

Strengthening Global Ties and Sustainability Focus

Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles is set to emphasize cross-border partnerships and sector-wide synergies under the theme of “Textile Power.” Ms. Wilmet Shea, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, highlighted the fair’s expanding global impact:

“With China’s visa-free policies and growing international market optimism, we anticipate even greater overseas participation next year. Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles continues to be the premier platform for showcasing textile excellence to both home and contract markets.”

The show is part of Messe Frankfurt’s broader Texpertise Network, dedicated to promoting sustainability and innovation in textiles worldwide. Sustainability will once again be a major theme, reflecting industry trends in key export markets like the US, EU, and Latin America, where demand for eco-friendly products continues to rise.

Global Voices: Exhibitor and Buyer Perspectives

At the 2024 edition, exhibitors praised the fair’s ability to drive new business and showcase sustainability.
Mr. Runhao Ma of Japan’s Toyo Orimono Co Ltd observed a significant shift in buyer demand toward sustainable products:

“Previously 10% of our customers sought sustainable products; now it’s 50–60%. This fair is one of the best places to meet both domestic and international buyers.”

Similarly, Mr. Mário Abreu of Portugal’s Elastron Group highlighted their success at the fair, noting the popularity of their recycled, water-free fabrics:

“This show is essential for our sourcing strategy. Communication, quality, and innovation have significantly improved.”
