Intertextile Shenzhen Apparel Fabrics and Yarn Expo Shenzhen 2026 will bring together over 600 exhibitors from 11 countries and regions, highlighting developments in sustainable materials, digitalisation, artificial intelligence and textile innovation.
Taking place from 9–11 June at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center, the concurrent fairs will showcase a broad range of products, from traditional natural fibres to emerging sustainable materials and technology-driven textile solutions.
According to the organisers, the events are designed to combine heritage-inspired textile craftsmanship with innovation across the fashion and textile value chain.
Speaking ahead of the fairs, Ms Wilmet Shea, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, said: “We are proud to give our exhibitors the opportunity to leverage the fashion potential in the heart of China’s current manufacturing and tech capital. Both shows will welcome domestic and international buyers looking to pair sustainable textile innovation with downstream technological progress. In today’s world, progress is rapid but there is also a very real trend of nostalgia that many of our exhibitors capture with their offerings.”
