International Exhibitors to Present Natural, Synthetic and Sustainable Fibre Solutions from 25–27 August 2026
Yarn Expo Autumn 2026 will return to Shanghai from 25 to 27 August 2026, bringing together international exhibitors serving apparel, home textiles, medical and industrial applications. The exhibition will feature a broad range of natural, synthetic and blended yarns and fibres, reflecting evolving sourcing priorities across the global textile industry.
Yarn Expo Autumn 2026 will take place in Shanghai from 25 to 27 August 2026, bringing together exhibitors from across the global yarn and fibre industry to present products for apparel, home textiles, medical and industrial applications.
The exhibition comes as the textile raw materials sector continues to respond to changing market requirements related to sustainability, product performance and manufacturing efficiency. Exhibitors will showcase products covering natural, synthetic and blended materials, providing buyers with sourcing options across multiple textile segments.
According to market estimates, global fibre production is expected to increase from 132 million tonnes to 169 million tonnes by 2030, reflecting continued demand for textile raw materials. At the same time, sourcing requirements are becoming more diversified as manufacturers seek materials suitable for both conventional and specialised applications.
The exhibition will feature suppliers aligned with demand for product quality, material innovation and responsible sourcing, including fibres such as cotton, cellulose, plant-based fibres, regenerated textile fibres and wool, which are increasingly being used in performance apparel.
