News this week: Close to 700 exhibitors from eight
countries and regions joined Messe Frankfurt’s Intertextile Pavilion at the Shenzhen
International Trade Fair for Apparel Fabrics and Accessories. The show was held from 10th to
12th July at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center (SZCEC), and covered 30,000 m2 of
exhibition space – up 33% from 2013.
According to Messe
Frankfurt, the show set a new record for buyer attendance attracting more than
17,500 from 27 countries and regions – an increase of 34% compared with 2013.
The number of exhibitors was also up 13% vs. last year’s edition. Group
pavilions at the 2014 show included those from Taiwan, Korea and India.
Wendy Wen, senior general
manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK), commented, “The general consensus of our
exhibitors was that there is a lot of potential in the south of China, and that
this fair is the best platform to tap into that. The rise in both exhibitor and
buyer numbers confirms that there is a need for a fair of this type in the
region, and we feel it complements our existing apparel fabrics and accessories
fairs in Shanghai well.”
