Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles will be held from March 14 to 16, 2018. This is an opportunity to source home textile finished products. More than 200 exhibitors will showcase products including beds and towels, table and kitchen linen, machinery and technology, design and styling and more.

The sewing equipment pavilion will feature some of the most advanced and efficient textile solutions such as automated production lines, smart logistic systems and computerised embroidery machines.

The fair stands out as the leading trading event for finished products in China as it is held during the country’s peak sourcing time for such products including duvets, pillows, bedding and towels. The fair accommodates the foremost bedding companies in China as well as distributors of overseas brands, providing buyers with a range of quality products.

The Chinese towelling market in particular has been thriving recently, with consumers paying more attention to the material, quality, function and different uses of towels. There has been a steady growth in demand for finished products in China. In the first quarter of 2016 domestic sales of towels and bedding products increased 8.1 per cent and 6.8 per cent compared to the first quarter of 2015.

With Chinese consumers’ disposable income rising steadily, demand for quality home textile products is continuing to grow.
