The largest Yarn Expo Autumn is to be held from 13 – 15 October this year with both the gross area and exhibitor number jumping to an all-time-high.“We relocated this year’s autumn fair to the new National Exhibition and Convention Center （Shanghai） as this venue allows us to occupy a broader space to accommodate more long-awaited yarn and fibre suppliers from around the world，” said Ms Wendy Wen， Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt（HK） Ltd.
　　
This year’s autumn fair will take up 8，500 sqm. gross area to house over 250 exhibitors， with both figures seeing an increase of over 70% compared to last year. Among all the exhibitors， almost 100 are from overseas， including from Hong Kong， India， Indonesia， Korea， Pakistan， Singapore， Switzerland， Uzbekistan and Vietnam. Meanwhile， over 150 domestic exhibitors brought by the China Cotton Textile Association and China Chemical Fiber Association will showcase sophisticated innovative fibers.
　　
Synthetic fibers from China continue to be featured in three zones
　　
Three special zones will be featured in the autumn fair to demonstrate synthetic fibers from Mainland China， including：
　　
Advanced Cottony Polyester Fiber Zone
　　
Featuring top imitation cotton suppliers in China， this zone will demonstrate how these fibers can be employed in sportswear， overalls and denim outfits. At the same time， visitors can also learn about the special properties of these fibers through a series of live demonstrations.
　　
Renewable & Recycling Zone
　　
As a biochemical fiber， renewable & recycling fiber， which combines merits of both cotton and silk， is well-known for its quick moisture absorption， cool-feeling and static resistance. Moreover， it is degradable and can be recycled， helping consumers make their spending more environmentally friendly. This zone， bringing all the country’s major renewable & recycling fiber suppliers under one roof， will showcase a full scope of this product ranging from raw materials to finished goods.
　　
Functional Fiber Zone
　　
Displaying mainly polyester， nylon， biochemical fibers， spandex， polypropylene fibers and acrylic fibers， this zone is the best destination to explore products made with the aforementioned functional fibers which feature moisture absorption， anti-static and UV resistance. More eco products， such as environmentally friendly dyed yarns， will also be another highlight of this zone.

The Trend Forum， organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China， the China Chemical Fiber Association， Donghua University and the China Textile and Chemical Fiber Product Development Centre， will be the most authoritative platform for visitors to learn about upcoming fiber trends in China.
