Beijing, July 22, 2024. Functional yarns and fibers, with their unique and adaptable qualities for a wide range of applications, are becoming more and more sought after in today’s world of changing demands. In the meanwhile, goods that combine environmental friendliness with usefulness are even more valuable. This year, from August 27 to 29, at Yarn Expo Autumn, a variety of functional yarn and fiber exhibitors will assemble, together with other suppliers from China and outside, to take advantage of expanding market prospects. A wide range of cutting-edge and environmentally friendly solutions will be offered at the fairground, which will occupy Hall 8.2 of the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), accelerating the green revolution.
Functional yarns and fibres, which find widespread use in several high-demand areas including sports, healthcare, and the automotive industry, are becoming increasingly sought-after globally. Yarn Expo Autumn is an excellent venue for providers to showcase the qualities of high-performance goods, such as its antibacterial, UV protection, moisture-wicking, or other characteristics. It is well-known for its position as Asia’s top trade show and its high level of internationality.
