Amidst a severe competition worldwide, the 18th YiwuTex will be held at Yiwu International Expo Centre in China from June 13 with a new focus on healthcare textiles, innovative yarn and its applications.

The three-day show will feature three thematic zones – Functional Knitting Machinery Zone, Smart Apparel Machinery Zone and Digital Printing Machinery Zone.

The textile and garment exports of China in 2015 suffered a 4.9 per cent decrease compared with the previous year, while the profit of sportswear market achieved over 20 per cent increase, which is mainly due to the sales of functional wear. The figure indicates that high-tech and value-add apparel products have become the market heat and the key for traditional textile industry to get out of its dilemma.

Embracing by the new market development, YiwuTex 2017 will focus on healthy and functional textile products. The introduction of latest technology in the Show could revitalize the production chain of the textile industry and strengthen the enterprises by adding values to their products.

The previous show attracted 9,380 local and international trade visitors from 36 countries and regions.
