Asia’s premier platform for the yarn and fiber industry, Yarn Expo Autumn will commence on September 2, 2025, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. With nearly 580 exhibitors from 16 countries and regions, this year’s event is being hailed as the ‘most comprehensive edition yet,’ featuring seven dedicated zones and a robust fringe program.
The three-day fair will serve as a vital hub for global industry exchange, innovation, and sustainability. Spanning 27,000 sq m in Hall 8.2, the event will provide buyers with a wide array of sourcing options. The show will introduce a new Taiwan Zone and see the return of the popular India Pavilion and Pakistan Zone.
Yarn Expo Autumn 2025 is the most comprehensive edition yet, says Wilmet Shea, General Manager, Messe Frankfurt (HK). Time and again, this fair proves to be one of the most vital sourcing hubs for thousands of diverse buyers, while the platform is essential for suppliers looking to get international business and penetrate the Asian and Chinese markets. Shanghai is an industry hub in its own right, but during this show it really serves as the global industry’s gathering point.
