As the Southern China textiles market grows, so does participation in Intertextile Pavilion Shenzhen at the Shenzhen International Trade Fair for Apparel Fabrics and Accessories. The 2013 fair, to be held from 11 – 13 July , will feature nearly 600 exhibitors from 11 countries and regions at Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center.

They will exhibit fabrics for ladieswear, casual wear and functional wear / sportswear, as well as accessories, across 22,500 sqm in halls 6, 7 and 8 – an over 30% increase in exhibition space compared to last year. More than 13,000 visitors attended the fair in 2012 and it is expected that the fair will receive widespread support again this year.
