Intertextile Beijing showcases top international and Chinese fabric manufacturers

Interest in the show has led to a 30% expansion in size and the addition of a second venue for 2007 – Beijing's China World Trade Center

China's garment exports continue to grow, signifying a robust industry and huge demand for apparel fabrics
 
Intertextile Beijing, one of the leading international trade fairs for apparel fabrics and accessories in China, gives fabric producers from around the world access to the booming market in north and northeast China. The show, which will run 22 – 24 March 2007 at both the Beijing Exhibition Center and China World Trade Center, will feature an array of cotton, wool, silk, linen, ramie, man-made, knitted and other materials along with many accessories. The show's popularity and success have led to an expansion into a new second venue for 2007 – providing 30% more exhibitor space or 9,000 sqm.

Intertextile Beijing has become one of the most important venues for international fabric producers seeking quality buyers in northeast China. Last year, of the 689 exhibitors, 32% came from outside of China and about 90% of the 17,337 visitors were Chinese. Exhibitors last year included companies from Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, Taiwan, Thailand, and, for the first time, Philippines, Spain and the USA.

Past exhibitors have applauded the show for attracting serious, quality buyers and key industry professionals.

China's apparel industry still the world's strongest

China is one of the world's most important garment producing nations and has continued to expand its apparel industry after years of constant growth. In 2005, China's garment exports grew by 20% (65.9 billion USD) and in the first nine months of 2006, exports of garments increased by 32%. An increase in import quotas on certain products for 2007 to the USA and European Union will especially help foreign fabric manufacturers enter the market.

Against that backdrop, the 2007 Intertextile Beijing will expand to the China World Trade Center in Beijing to provide exhibitors 30% more space. The China World Trade Center is considered China's top up-market commercial mixed-use facility. A free shuttle will run regularly between the two venues.

Intertextile Beijing will run concurrent with Yarn Expo Spring 2007, which will also be held at the China World Trade Center.
