Changing demands

摘要

Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Spring Edition provided a much-needed positive outlook for the textile industry when it took place on 17-19 March. The show held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) hosted nearly 2,600 exhibitors from 17 countries and regions and 80,533 visitors, with well-received online and hybrid solutions running in tandem with the physical fair. The main themes emerging from the show included an increase in innovative products resulting from the pandemic, the benefits for both domestic and international companies of having an in-person event, encouraging prospects in the Chinese market as it continues to rebound, and hope that more of the main textile markets will do the same as 2021 progresses.
