"The 11th Ningbo International Textile Accessories, Fabrics & Yarns and Garment Industry Expo 2013" will be held today through the 25th at the Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center, featuring nearly 200 exhibiting companies showcasing a wide range of textile fabrics, garment accessories, home textiles, textile raw materials, various yarns, and auxiliary equipment.

　　Ningbo ranks first in China in terms of the number of apparel brands and serves as the country's largest base for textile, garment production, processing, and export—driving demand for textile accessories, fabrics, and yarns exceeding 20 billion yuan. Despite last year’s challenges—including volatile costs in the textile industry, ongoing industrial shifts, and a slowdown in export growth—many companies have shifted their sales strategies from foreign trade to domestic consumption, actively tapping into the vast Chinese market. "This year, businesses from eastern coastal regions have significantly increased their participation in the exhibition, with the event growing nearly 30% larger than the previous edition," organizers noted.

　　The exhibition will also host a summit forum and workshops on the latest trends in the textile and apparel industry. Designers and brand operations directors from numerous top-tier clothing brands—including YOUNGOR (600177), Shenzhou Group, Romon, GXG, and Peacebird—will attend the event firsthand, sharing cutting-edge fashion trends and industry insights to foster greater collaboration and innovation within the sector.
