This year’s revitalised fringe programme centred on four key pillars: NextGen, Palette, Connector, and Go-Green. A major highlight was the debut Future & Textile Zone under NextGen, where textiles met artificial intelligence. The zone featured sustainable and bio-engineered material samples and live AI demonstrations that transformed textiles into interior designs.
Sessions also featured international experts like Danish interior designer Camilla Rudnicki, who shared insights on creating warm and joyful living spaces. Textile sector leaders from Colombia, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam shared insights on market opportunities and challenges in their countries. And the "Home Textiles x Interior Decoration: Summit on Industry Reshaping and Advancement" brought together all parties from the home textile industry chain. Through thematic sharing and forum dialogues, they analysed the development trends of the home textile industry, explored channel development for home textile distributors, and discussed future prospects.
The programme provided valuable perspectives on sustainability and innovation, reinforcing the fair’s role as a hub for industry advancement.

“Having exhibited at Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles since 2016, we are proud to present our self-repairing voiles this year. We emphasise our commitment to natural and sustainable qualities, using materials like recycled yarn in our curtains. We continue to return to this fair because the organisers are highly professional and the brand awareness is effective – bringing us genuine clients. This year, approximately 60% of the buyers we met were from Mainland China, while 40% hailed from various countries and regions, including Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico, and Brazil.”
Mr Suleyman Altiok, Sales Manager, Bona Home, Türkiye (exhibitor)
“We are exploring a wide variety of textiles, ready-made curtains, and soft furnishings, while also keeping an eye on fresh designs and innovations. We came across several impressive fabrics we hadn’t seen before, many presented by Chinese manufacturers offering diverse prints, patterns, and rolled stock ideal for quick orders. The fair provides a great opportunity to discover suppliers, and we’ve already identified promising ones for future collaboration. There’s a lot to cover within three days, but the event is both comprehensive and high quality. The fringe programme adds further value, and overall, we’re pleased with the experience and look forward to returning.”
Ms Margot Johnson, Head of Product, Buying & Marketing, Harvey Furnishings, New Zealand (visitor)
“The forum unites textile experts to enhance consumer awareness of home textile products' social responsibility. By discussing management, sustainability, and consumer research, it also aims to show that these products involve R&D and sustainable practices beyond their materials. As a result, it fosters deeper understanding and influences purchasing decisions, generating positive momentum for the industry. This fair is recognised as a premier exhibition in China and Asia, providing valuable insights while significantly contributing to the industry's growth and future development.”
Dr Guoxiang Yuan, Graduate Supervisor, Donghua University and Research Fellow of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong (speaker)
