Exhibition Introduction

China Shaoxing Keqiao Textile Fabrics and Accessories Expo is a professional textile exhibition held on the strength of the Keqiao textile industry cluster and the China Light Textile City market platform, founded in 1999 and now held in spring and autumn editions. The autumn edition is planned at an exhibition area of 45000 square meters.

Exhibits cover textile fabrics, textile accessories (raw materials), textile finishing, creative design and textile machinery. The main exhibition area has about 2400 standard booths and functional areas for exhibition services, business meetings, catering and buyer rest; satellite areas extend to the traditional trading area of China Light Textile City, the international trade area, the garment and accessories market, the scarf market, the home textile market, the grey fabric market, the curtain and furnishing fabric market and the light textile raw materials market, while the online expo presents in parallel.

The exhibition has undergone several upgrades since its founding: in 2007 the China Keqiao Textile Index was released through the expo platform; in 2008 the spring edition was launched, and in the same year it was approved to become a national-level professional textile exhibition and renamed the China Keqiao International Textile Expo. Since then, a printing industry section, a fabric creative competition and a fashion creative design competition have been added, enriching the programme.

Past editions have built a stable professional buyer base: the autumn 2013 edition recorded about 31000 professional buyers, including more than 6900 overseas buyers, and the autumn 2017 edition recorded 44193 professional buyers, including 9331 overseas buyers. The exhibition serves textile companies, trading companies, buyers and professional visitors, providing product display, trade negotiations and sourcing matching.
