Yarn Expo was held in-person and virtually this year and proved its importance once again. As one of the first yarn & fibre industry events to take place since the pandemic outbreak, the fair was brought great satisfaction and pleasure. 419 exhibitors from six countries & regions – China, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, the US and Vietnam – took part in the fair, with 15,707 visitors sourcing in-person at Shanghai’s National Exhibition and Convention Center.
“We are very pleased that we have been able to successfully hold the Yarn Expo and Intertextile Apparel fairs in both Shenzhen in July and now in Shanghai on schedule this year’’ said Ms. Wendy Wen Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, and shared the following, ‘’ “From the feedback from participants this week, it’s clear these events have provided a real boost to help their businesses to make up some of the ground lost earlier in the year, and to look forward to the seasons ahead with some confidence. What’s more, the chance to reconnect in-person was widely acclaimed, while the new online platforms have been especially well-received by international exhibitors and buyers who were unable to be physically in Shanghai this year as a further increase to their outcomes from the fairs.’’
