More widely, the natural fibre market is projected to reach USD 68.37 billion in 2026[1], highlighting the commercial relevance of renewable textile materials. As such, the fair will connect buyers with cotton suppliers, spinners and various material innovators from key sourcing markets in Asia-Pacific and beyond, offering opportunities to explore traceable cotton, recycled yarns and high-performance natural blends for apparel, home textiles and other applications.
With China and India playing major roles in global textile production and processing, the expanded India Pavilion will be a key cotton sourcing destination. Buyers can explore BCI-certified, combed and compact yarns, as well as products developed under the Kasturi Cotton Bharat traceability initiative, providing a focused view of India’s cotton capabilities.
Among the participating Indian exhibitors, Excel Enterprise will present premium Shankar-6 raw cotton and long-staple combed cotton yarns for high-end circular knitting and fine weaving, offering strength, low fibre fly and fabric uniformity. Shreedhar Cotsyn will showcase 100% combed and compact cotton yarns, multi-tone mélange collections, and cotton blends with acrylic, viscose and plant-based cellulose, suited to fashion, activewear, intimates and specialised knitwear.
International cotton options to broaden sourcing appeal
Beyond the India Pavilion, exhibitors from other major producing markets will add further cotton and natural fibre options for visitors seeking different origins, yarn constructions and production capabilities.
Cotton Council International from the US will present COTTON USA™, highlighting cotton yarns supported by farm-to-spindle supply chain transparency and environmental metrics. The showcase will provide brands and buyers with another key option for collections requiring greater visibility of raw material credentials.
From Indonesia, Duniatex Group will bring its integrated expertise across spinning, weaving, dyeing and knitting. Its spun yarn offering will be relevant to visitors seeking suppliers with broad manufacturing capacity for fashion and home textile development.
Ihsan Cotton Products from Pakistan will feature recycled cotton open-end yarns and home textile yarns made with post-industrial textile waste. These products provide an option for brands and manufacturers looking to incorporate recovered materials into yarn and textile development.
Alongside cotton yarns, the fair will also demonstrate how the cotton and natural fibre yarn segment is evolving through lower-impact, cellulosic and plant-based alternatives. PT DAN LIRIS (Indonesia) and Toray Industries Inc (Japan) will present TENCEL™-related offerings; Yajur Fibres (India) and Better International (Hong Kong) will showcase bamboo fibre; while Circ Inc (USA) and Everest Textile (Taiwan) will highlight lyocell innovations. Together, these offerings provide further material directions for apparel and downstream textile development.
Yarn Expo Autumn will be held concurrently with Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Autumn Edition, CHIC, and PH Value. The four fairs will bring the fibre and yarn, apparel fabrics and accessories, fashion, and knitted garments industries together under one roof, with the resultant synergy allowing exhibitors and buyers to maximise their business opportunities.
