March 2016 will see the global yarn and fibre industry gather in Shanghai for the next edition of Yarn Expo Spring. Taking place from March 16 –18, 2016, the fair will be held across 10,000 sq. mtrs. in the National Exhibition and Convention Center. Following the success of the 2015 edition, a larger India pavilion will be organised by the Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council (TEXPROCIL).

Alongside the India Pavilion, neighbours Pakistan will also feature with their own zone, showcasing competitively priced cotton yarns. Furthermore, following the successful first-time participation of a number of Uzbekistan exhibitors at this year’s Yarn Expo Autumn, where the competitiveness of their products in the Chinese market was emphasised, an increased participation is expected in 2016.

A feature of the 2015 Spring Edition was the increasing participation of synthetic and knitting yarn suppliers, particularly from Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore. In 2016, it is expected that more exhibitors of these products from China, Korea, Portugal and Taiwan will also feature at the fair to take advantage of the potential in the domestic market.

With four concurrent textile fairs under one roof, both exhibitors and buyers of Yarn Expo Spring can benefit from business opportunities at this unique industry event. The fairs, which will also run from March 16 – 18, 2016 include Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Spring Edition, Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles – Spring Edition, PH Value and the China International Fashion Fair (CHIC).
