As the most influential trade platform for yarn and fiber industry players in Asia， Yarn Expo Autumn is renowned for its comprehensive range of exhibitors. As such， the show keeps gaining in popularity， with the number of exhibitors increasing from 258 to more than 270 this year. To date， they come from 12 countries and regions including Mainland China， Hong Kong， Bangladesh， India， Indonesia， Korea， Pakistan， Singapore， Thailand， USA， Uzbekistan and Vietnam. To accommodate this rising number of exhibitors， the exhibition space is further increased by 35% to over 11，500 sqm.， marking a new record for the show.

“The growth of this fair over the past two years has really been remarkable given the global economic situation over this time，” Ms Wendy Wen， Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt （HK） Ltd. commented. “From around 140 exhibitors in 2014 to more than 270 this year， and with the exhibition space more than doubling over this time， the fair is now well-established as the leading industry event in the region. Part of this growth is due to advancements in the fairs offerings such as the new display zones this year， which provide further opportunities for both exhibitors and buyers in fast-growing product sectors.”

Specific display zones for domestic exhibitors in growing sectors

In response to the ever-changing market conditions and growing demand for innovative products， the fair has designated four display zones， namely Natural Cotton Zone， Colorful Chemical Fiber Zone， Fancy Yarn Zone and E-Commerce Zone for corresponding domestic exhibitors. The market is also attaching much importance to eco-friendly products in recent years， and as a result， the fair organizers are incorporating green elements into the display zones. To start with， the Natural Cotton Zone will be focusing on the theme of eco-friendly technology. As one of the key exhibitors of this zone with a major rotor and vortex spinning production base in China， Bazhou Jinfu Yarn Co.， Ltd. will present their specialty yarns and differentiated viscose yarn in the October fair.

There is also a new Eco-friendly Fibre Area within the Colorful Chemical Fiber Zone which highlights innovative fibers as well as eco-friendly low carbon fibers. Visitors will be able to find recycled polyester fiber from Zhejiang Jiaren New Materials Co.， Ltd. which boasts eco-friendly， comfortable and functional features thanks to a chemical circulation and regeneration production system.endprint

Having previously exhibited in Yarn Expo Autumn and featuring in this zone in the coming edition， Shouguang Jiaxin Ecological Technology Co.， Ltd.， a manufacturer of colored spun slub yarn， colored spun segmentcolor yarn and colored spun AB yarn， finds the show useful in providing an opportunity to meet worldwide customers， including European and Asian buyers， as well as to receive orders.
