Following a successful 2024 edition that welcomed nearly 20,000 visits from 45 countries and regions, Yarn Expo Shenzhen is set to return from 11 – 13 June 2025 at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center (Futian). As South China continues to grow as a hub for textile innovation, the expo will serve as a vital platform for industry professionals to connect, source cutting-edge yarns and fibers, and explore the latest trends in sustainability and textile technology.
Strategically positioned alongside Intertextile Shenzhen Apparel Fabrics, BIRD Fashion Fair, and PH Value, the event fosters meaningful exchanges across the entire textile value chain, attracting apparel brands, designers, and knitting and underwear manufacturers. With Shenzhen’s modern infrastructure and expanded visa-free policies, the city remains highly accessible for both domestic and international participants.
Asia’s Growing Textile Market & China’s Expanding Trade Landscape
The global yarn, fiber, and thread market is projected to reach USD 138.7 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.4%. Asia-Pacific continues to dominate this sector, with China reinforcing its position as a leading textile hub. The country’s recent expansion of its visa-free policy to include 18 more countries and extended stays up to 30 days further enhances international business opportunities.
Ms. Wilmet Shea, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, emphasized the expo’s role in fostering industry advancements:
“Held in mid-summer between the Shanghai editions, Yarn Expo Shenzhen aims to foster industry exchange in South China, driving sustainability and international collaboration. The success of previous editions confirms the significance of this strategic platform, and we look forward to strengthening business connections in 2025.”
