market demand, both domestically and internationally, has contributed to the consistent
upward trajectory of Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles – Autumn Edition.
By utilising advanced technologies and abundant resources, China has earned its global
reputation as one of the major manufacturing hubs for home textile products. Chinese
home textile exports reached over USD 4.8 billion in the first two months of 2024, a yearon-year increase of 13.7%1, demonstrating a welcome recovery. On the other hand, thecountry’s huge population, coupled with its increasing per capita textile consumption andhome renovation projects, is providing a plethora of business opportunities forinternational suppliers to discover.
