Textile means more than just a piece of clothing today, it has always been closely related to our daily life. Since more consumers are eager to buy unique, creative and functional clothing, innovative technologies are being adopted in a broad range of applications in the textile and fashion market. Fashion and technology are edging closer together to cater effectively for the needs of the consumers.

According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), the shipping of wearable technology is expected to increase by almost five times from 2017 to 2021 (from 210 million pieces to 1,150 million pieces). A wide variety of fashion technology products are available in the market, for example, there are colour-changing sportswear based on body temperature, baby clothes with wearable sensors for monitoring respiratory, temperature and human activity, apparel inventory management system, textile recycling technology and products recommendation engine, etc.

The 19th International Exhibition on Textile Industry (ShanghaiTex 2019) will be grandly held on 25-28 November 2019 at Shanghai New International Expo Centre. The fair will cover nine exhibition halls with a total area of 100,000 sq.m.
