Number Of Overseas Visitors Up 90% At Yarn Expo Spring 2024
Yarn Expo Spring 2024 which was held in March, saw visits from nearly 22,000 buyers from 107 countries and regions to connect with over 515 exhibitors from 11 countries and regions.
International exhibitor numbers doubled, while domestic exhibitor numbers were also up by 27 percent and there were exhibitors from five new countries like Bangladesh, Germany, Indonesia, Singapore and UAE.
In addition, the show recorded visitors from 52 percent more countries and regions with visitors from Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, and Russia being among the top five.
“This year’s edition witnessed a rise in overseas visitors which grew by 90 percent,” Messe Frankfurt, the exhibitor organiser said in a press release.
Across the 27,000 sq. metre show floor, sustainability took centre stage as visitors explored the latest innovations, from eco-friendly cotton yarns, to recycled and regenerated fibres, and many more.
Among products on display, many brands showed both natural and regenerated synthetic fibres, prioritising yarn quality, and a commitment to building towards a more environmentally friendly future.
‘Texpertise Econogy’, the umbrella for sustainability activities, is poised to continue infusing eco-consciousness into Messe Frankfurt’s more than 50 textile trade shows worldwide.
This was clearly demonstrated across multiple pavilions and zones, featuring products such as recycled yarns, Tencel yarns, and organic cotton, complemented by a series of innovation-focused fringe events.
These included China Fibres Fashion Trends Display Zone, highlighting the latest downstream vogues for various yarns and fibres.
