The 4th edition of Intex South Asia, a trade show and business intelligence conference that takes place in Colombo next month, is expecting to attract hundreds of apparel and textile entrepreneurs and manufacturers from around the world, including South Asia, South East Asia, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, the US, the UK and the European Union.

As the largest textile sourcing show in South Asia, coupled with the market intelligence provided at the Business Forums and the Fashion Fiesta, Intex South Asia assists international exhibitors and trade visitors to connect and network with global textile and apparel industry business persons.

“The success of Intex South Asia 2017 propels South Asia’s largest textile sourcing show to secure more exhibit space at the grand BMICH to accommodate the global apparel brands, retailers, sourcing and buying offices, apparel manufacturers, fashion designers and labels and industry experts in attendance,” organisers report.

“Three years of successful editions of Intex South Asia exhibition have created a positive buzz in the industry as a whole – from sourcing and design teams to manufacturers and importers. With a growing industry renewing global interest for quality and ethical products, increased international buyer traffic and order writing has set the stage for a successful fourth edition of Intex South Asia on a larger scale than before.”

Intex South Asia debuted in 2015 and has grown significantly over the last three editions. It has shown a 46% rise in number of exhibitors and a 67% growth in international buyers with 200 exhibitors from 15 countries and over 3,000 buyers from 21 countries participating in 2017.

This year, buyers will see country pavilions including the India Pavilion organised by FIEO (Federation of Indian Export Organisations); the Taiwan Pavilion organised by Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF) that will showcase innovative, functional and eco-friendly textiles for sports and athleisure sectors, as well as the Bangladesh Pavilion organised by Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) of Bangladesh.

More than 250 textile companies from 15 countries and regions, including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Switzerland, Turkey and Australia, will be present at Intex South Asia 2018. They will showcase their latest textile developments and connect with existing and potential buyers from South Asia and other international markets at the event.

“We are committed to making Sri Lanka the nodal point for commerce between South Asia and South East Asia as well as connecting to the EU, MENA and the US through the Intex South Asia platform,” commented Arti Bhagat, Director of Worldex India, organiser of Intex South Asia.
