News this week: NASDAQ-listed B2B media company, Global
Sources, recently hosted
1,300 exhibitor booths at the AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE). The organiser’s co-located events
included China Sourcing Fairs: Fashion Accessories, Garments & Textiles and Underwear & Swimwear, as well as India Sourcing Fair: Garments &
Accessories.
The four-day trade
show was held from 27th to 30th October. Global Sources
reported the participation of many high-profile buyers this year, including
representatives of Bestseller Fashion Group, Carrefour, Folli Follie, Giorgio
Armani, Landmark Group, Le Chateau, Li & Fung, Nitori, Ralph Lauren,
Samsonite, Sears, Triumph, Target Sourcing, Tesco, Wiley Accessories and
Woolworths.
Tommy Wong, president
of Global Sources Exhibitions, was quoted saying, “Buyers love the ease of
sourcing many product lines under one roof. We have Asia’s largest selection of
scarves, a new sportswear pavilion and fast growth in our finished-garment and
fabric lines. Some lines have double-digit growth since our show last October.
This mirrors the robust state of the global apparel industry which is expected
to be worth more than US$1,560 billion by 2017.”
