Yarn Expo Spring 2008 will feature 85% more space

The show remains one of the top niche events in northern China for sourcing fibres and yarn

Yarn Expo runs concurrent with Intertextile Beijing - a leading trade platform for textile traders

Yarn Expo Spring 2008, one of China's premier yarn and fibre sourcing events, will feature nearly 85% more exhibition space when it takes place 27 - 29 March 2008. The show will grow to 5,500 sqm of exhibition space, up from 3,000 sqm in 2007. It will again be held at the China World Trade Centre in Beijing.

The show is an ideal trade event for yarn and fibre suppliers all over the world to meet directly with textile manufacturers in northern China. As the largest textile and apparel exporter in the world, China relies on yarn and fibre imports to meet its enormous demand. While apparel exports increased 19% in 2006 over 2005, China imported USD 4.5 billion worth of yarn, a 7% increase. China's textile manufacturers continue to seek new places to source fibres and yarns, particularly middle- to high-end products.

Yarn Expo showcases a wide spectrum of fibres and yarns used in the apparel and home textiles industries. In 2007, the show featured more than 100 exhibitors and attracted nearly 5,000 visitors from 47 countries and regions, including fabric-weaving mills, importers and wholesalers of yarn and fibres.

Two concurrent trade events will help optimise trade

Yarn Expo Spring will run concurrent to Intertextile Beijing Apparel Fabrics - one of the leading apparel textile trade events in northern China, which attracts textile makers from around the world. Intertextile Beijing, at the China International Exhibition Centre, will feature an estimated 1,100 exhibitors including mostly textile manufacturers. A free shuttle bus will connect the two events.
