The four-day 13th Bangladesh Yarn, Fabrics and Accessories Show 2026 opened at the International Convention City Bashundhara in Dhaka, alongside the concurrent Bangladesh Texchem Expo. Over 150 international and domestic manufacturers gathered to showcase technical yarns, functional knitwear, and specialized textile chemicals. By facilitating direct commercial negotiations for local RMG exporters, buying houses, and fabric processors, the trade show addresses critical raw material bottlenecks and shortens delivery lead times for global buyer markets. Additionally, a dedicated trade pavilion organized by India's CHEMEXCIL highlights increasing regional integration in sustainable textile chemical processing.
Policy support and value-chain upgrading
Industry executives emphasized, the necessity of policy stability and structural reforms to sustain export momentum amid shifting global sourcing requirements. Government policy support is extremely important for boosting investment and industrial growth in the country, states Mohammad Hatem, President, Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association.
Event organizers noted, direct access to high-grade synthetic yarns, technical fabrics, and specialized garment accessories enables manufacturers to diversify beyond basic apparel into higher-margin product categories. Tipu Sultan Bhuiyan, Managing Director, ASK Trade & Exhibitions, underscored, modern sourcing platforms are essential for apparel exporters working to comply with evolving international environmental standards while maintaining margin competitiveness.

Organized by ASK Trade & Exhibitions since 2011, this annual trade platform connects international fabric, yarn, and chemical suppliers with Bangladesh’s $47 billion apparel export sector. Serving garment manufacturers, buying agencies, and retail brands, the organizer aims to expand regional trade networks and maintain robust operational liquidity.
