3. Participation from China
- China is the largest overseas participating country in both exhibitions. Participating companies are primarily fabric manufacturers, ODM apparel factories, and textile machinery suppliers.
- Participation often takes the form of organized groups (e.g., from Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong provinces), with dedicated "China Pavilions" highlighting advantages such as rapid prototyping, flexible supply chains, and eco-certifications (OEKO-TEX®, GOTS).
- Chinese products are highly favored by European small and medium-sized brands for their price competitiveness and delivery response time (15–30 days), holding a significant share especially in the fast fashion and mid-range home textile sectors.
