Intertextile Guangzhou Hometextile China is the ideal sourcing destination in southern China

Intertextile Guangzhou Hometextile China is to return to the China Import and Export Fair Pazhou Complex on 18 – 21 March 2010. The upcoming edition will in a display area of 20,000sqm showcase the latest range of bedding, wall and window textiles, floor coverings, sofa, leather and upholstery fabrics. Held concurrently with the 24th China International Furniture Fair, which combines seven other home-related events, it is one of the most important trade exhibitions in southern China.

The 2009 show received over 16,400 professional trade buyers from 122 countries and regions. This included home textile-related importers, exporters, wholesalers, retailers, agents, manufacturers and designers.

Going against the global trend, China’s economy continues to develop, recording in the second quarter of 2009 a 7.9% growth in GDP. By year-end, this figure is expected to climb to 8.1%. These impressive gains come not only from the Chinese government’s USD586 billion stimulus package to boost the economy, but also most significantly from consumer led demand.

“Little affected by the downturn in the global economy, high home ownership rates and increases in disposable income are fostering a middle class in China with a keen interest in soft furnishings. This in turn is supporting the ongoing development of China’s home textile market, which is creating many business opportunities for manufacturers seeking a new trade destination,” noted Ms Wendy Wen, Director of Trade Fairs for Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd.

By combining Intertextile Guangzhou Hometextile China with the China International Furniture Fair, Homedecor & Housewares China, China International Outdoor & Leisure Fair and China International Ceramics Exhibition, the ultimate trade platform for textiles, home décor, outdoor leisure and more has been created.

Ms Wendy Wen went on to add “By participating in this fair, manufacturers wanting to gain access to or expand their share in China’s lucrative home textile market have the unbeatable opportunity to meet with the largest collection of buyers, agents and designers under one roof.”
