Date: October 31 ‑ November 4, 2026 | Venue: China Import and Export Fair Complex, Pazhou, Guangzhou
The 140th Canton Fair (China Import and Export Fair) will open its Phase 3 from October 31 to November 4, 2026, putting the spotlight on apparel, textile raw materials and fabrics, home textiles and fashion accessories at the Pazhou exhibition complex . As one of the world’s most important sourcing platforms for the global fashion supply chain, this phase brings together hundreds of Chinese textile and garment enterprises to display cutting‑edge fabrics, sustainable solutions and ready‑to‑wear collections for international buyers.
The Textile Raw Materials and Fabrics section (Halls 14.4, 15.4, 16.4) serves as the core of the fashion showcase . Exhibitors present a wide spectrum of products including natural fibers, woven and knitted fabrics, functional technical textiles, recycled eco‑friendly materials and new‑generation high‑performance fabrics. Responding to global market demands, a large number of booths feature green and low‑carbon innovations: recycled polyester, bio‑based textiles, water‑saving dyeing and finishing technologies, and low‑carbon production fabrics are major draws for overseas purchasers .
Functional fabrics remain a hot trend. Waterproof‑breathable, moisture‑wicking, anti‑bacterial, wrinkle‑resistant and temperature‑regulating fabrics are widely exhibited, catering to outdoor wear, sportswear, casual apparel and high‑end fashion markets across Europe, North America, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Alongside fabric displays, the fashion zone covers men’s and women’s wear, children’s wear, underwear, sportswear, leather and down garments, fashion accessories, shoes and bags, forming a complete upstream‑to‑downstream fashion industrial chain .
Many exhibitors bring high‑proportion new‑product lines, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern design concepts. The fair also facilitates face‑to‑face business negotiations, custom‑order discussions and supply‑chain cooperation between Chinese manufacturers and global buyers. Online services via the Canton Fair official platform run in parallel with offline exhibitions, enabling continuous business connections beyond the show period .
Against the backdrop of shifting global textile consumption trends, the 140th Canton Fair Phase 3 demonstrates China’s textile industry’s continuous upgrade toward high‑value, eco‑conscious and technology‑driven development. It acts as a vital bridge linking Chinese textile‑garment suppliers with international markets, supporting global fashion brands to source quality, innovative and sustainable textile solutions.
