Yarn Expo Autumn gains independence

15/10/2007
Having run alongside Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics for the last two years, Yarn Expo Autumn is to be launched as a stand-alone event this year in order to give the show room to grow. It will be held on October 29-31 in Shanghai, displaying a wide variety of yarns and fibres. Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics will be held from October 29 to November 1.

In 2006, China's textile exports increased 19% compared with 2005 and apparel exports jumped 29%. Meanwhile, rising wages and increasing interest in fashion has created new textile opportunities domestically. China's per capita fibre consumption nearly doubled between 2000 and 2005, from 7.5 kg to 14 kg. And yarn imports to China in 2006 increased 6% compared with 2005, totalling $4.5 billion.

Natural fibres and yarns including cotton, wool, silk and linen/ramie will be presented alongside regenerated and synthetic fibres and yarns as well as specialty products such as elastic and blended yarns and computer-related services.
