Intertextile Shanghai Autmun 2026, the Intertextile Shanghai Home Textile Autumn Edition, takes place in Shanghai, China from 18 August 2026 to 20 August 2026, drawing professionals and buyers from across the sector. The event connects manufacturers, distributors, buyers and trade professionals, and has grown into a notable fixture on the sector's calendar. Scheduled every year, it strikes a balance between staying current and giving each edition room to grow. At an expected 35000 attendees, the sheer density of the right people is part of the appeal. Behind the event stands Messe Frankfurt, an organiser with a strong track record in the field. The chosen home is National Exhibition and Convention Center, where generous floor space and good transport links do half the work.

Choosing Shanghai as the host city gives Intertextile Shanghai Autmun 2026 a real sense of place. Visitors get the dual benefit of a focused professional programme and a destination worth exploring. Shanghai is well connected by air and supported by an extensive local transport network, so travelling in from abroad or elsewhere in China is rarely a hassle. Places to stay are plentiful, and picking one near the venue keeps your mornings short and your options open. Once the day wraps up, Shanghai has no shortage of restaurants, sights and things to do. Use the trip as a springboard: Shanghai sits within easy reach of much of what China has to offer.

Across the halls, Textile, Home Textile and Home Interior are well represented, from established suppliers to new names entering the sector. Face time is the real currency here, and the layout is designed to maximise it — fewer emails, more handshakes. An exhibition of 900+ exhibitors showcases the products and ideas defining the field. The sheer scale — 100,000 m² of it — is part of the appeal, giving both exhibitors and visitors room to operate.

Few events pack so many sourcing and networking opportunities into so few days. In short, Intertextile Shanghai Autmun 2026 gives buyers, wholesalers and trade visitors a rare chance to see the whole market in motion and act on it.
