The global textile industry is set to converge at Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Spring Edition 2026, scheduled from 11 to 13 March at the National Exhibition and Convention Center, Shanghai. With over 3,000 exhibitors from 25 countries and regions spread across seven halls, the fair will present a comprehensive view of the international apparel fabric market.
The International Hall will be a key highlight, reflecting the industry’s wide-ranging capabilities. Alongside popular zones such as SalonEurope, Premium Wool Zone and Verve for Design, visitors will find strong participation from group and country pavilions representing Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Türkiye. Organised by leading trade bodies and institutions, these pavilions will showcase everything from natural fibres and patterned fabrics to functional and premium textiles.
Exhibition categories will span suiting, shirting, ladieswear, casualwear, functional wear and accessories, reinforcing the fair’s position as a one-stop sourcing platform for buyers of all scales. According to organisers, this breadth allows both large-volume manufacturers and boutique designers to source effectively under one roof.
Among the featured pavilions, Lenzing will demonstrate diverse applications of its regenerated cellulose fibres, while also introducing TENCEL™ Lyocell HV100 to the Chinese market. Ecocert will spotlight certified sustainable textiles, and the Korea Textile Center will present cotton, polyester and design-led fabrics from key Korean textile regions. The Spring Edition will also mark the debut of the Türkiye Pavilion, alongside the return of the India Pavilion organised by TEXPROCIL.
European expertise will be further highlighted through trend-focused zones aligned with the Spring/Summer 2027 PARADOX theme. Premium wool specialists, design studios and technical textile suppliers will present innovations spanning luxury menswear fabrics, prints, accessories and performance materials.
Co-organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, the Sub-Council of Textile Industry CCPIT and China Textile Information Centre, the fair will run alongside Yarn Expo Spring, Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles – Spring Edition, CHIC and PH Value, reinforcing Shanghai’s role as a global hub for textile sourcing and innovation.
