Yarn and fibres Exhibition

Nearly 100 suppliers will feature a full range of apparel yarns and fibres during Yarn Expo Spring 2008, running 27 - 29 March 2008 at the China World Trade Centre, Beijing.

 Exhibitors of natural, manmade and speciality/fancy fibres and yarns will be well placed to take advantage of surging demand in China, particularly in the flourishing northern textile market.

Suppliers reflect global demand pattern for cotton and flax

Analysts predict demand will outstrip supply of cotton yarn in 2008, primarily due to manufacturing demands in China.

Some of the leading suppliers from cotton-producing nations such as Pakistan, Turkey and China will be on hand to help meet that demand. 

Lahore Business International of Pakistan will feature grey 100% cotton & blended yarn for weaving and knitting, said Mr Ch. Abid Latif, Managing Director. Other exhibitor  from Pakistan, Neelibar Textiles (Private) Limited Kaybee Group of Singapore will feature cotton as well as polyester, viscose and fancy yarns, said Mr Sandeep Goel, Senior General Manager for Kaybee-Singapore.

Along with cotton, suppliers are ready to meet demands for linen. Procotex from Belgium will return with linen tops for blending with wool or silk fibres as well as cottonised flax for cotton or polyester blends, said Sales Director Mr Bruno Douchy.

 Many suppliers will focus on chemical fibres. With a rise in consumption of apparel in China, textile manufacturers are seeking more chemical fibres, especially Urethane elastic fibre used to produce high-end fabric. China produces and consumes the largest amount of chemical fibres in the world but demand is still surpassing supply. In such an opportune market, manufacturers of these products see Yarn Expo as an ideal destination to tap into the potential.

An ideal time for trade in Beijing

Yarn Expo Spring is uniquely positioned to take advantage of a major concurrent textile trade event in Beijing: more than 1,000 textile manufacturers will be exhibiting at Intertextile Beijing Apparel Fabrics 2008 alongwith, Yarn Expo as a free shuttle bus will connect the two events.
