Strong potential awaits in the Chinese functional fabrics market

Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Spring Edition 2017 is open for applications!

In 2014, the State Council of China announced a policy to develop the country’s sports industry, with the goal of reaching a total value of USD 760 billion by the end of 2025. Already benefiting from this policy, the size of the Chinese sportswear industry increased over 10% in 2015 compared to 2014.

You too can benefit from this growing demand with Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics’ Functional Lab which returns to the 2017 Spring Edition. It will once again stand out in the fair as the place to find leading suppliers of functional and smart textiles for sportswear, outdoor wear, swimwear and lingerie.
