“After last year’s record-breaking edition, where visitor numbers rose 10 per cent over the previous show, leading brands have confirmed their participation,” a Messe Frankfurt press release said.
According to the organiser, the fair is relocating to a new location; the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) beginning from this edition.
“The relocation means a new experience for buyers as they browse offerings of upholstery fabrics, bedding & towelling, carpets & rugs, wall coverings, digital printing, sun protection systems, etc, “ it added.
The fair will occupy seven halls in total, with all overseas exhibitors located in hall 7.2, while regional pavilions from Haining, Yuhang and Shaoxing are located in halls 5.2, 6.1 and 6.2, respectively.

In addition to these product groups, in the International Hall, a new ‘Digital Printing Zone’ will showcase some of this sector’s biggest names, including HP.
Furthermore, a new ‘Whole-Home Style Zone’ will feature exhibitors with multiple home textile products which will be displayed in a ‘real-home setting’.
