Fiber and Yarn Segments Came Together in China
Yarn Expo Spring was held on March 29-31, at the China World Trade Centre. The fair, held on an area of 5,500 sqm, brought the subtitles of fiber and yarn sectors together. The fair which hosted the manufacturers and buyers of regenerated and synthetic man-made fibers, synthetic fibers, natural and blended yarns, man-made and blended man-made fibers and natural fibers such as cotton, wool, silk and the producers of quality control and software solutions, was organized by Messe Frankfurt (HK). Important local associations such as the Sub-Council of Textile ındustry – CCPIT, china Cotton Textile Association, China Wool Textile Association, China Chemical Fibres Association supported the event.

The event hosted 150 yarn and fiber manufacturers, 105 of which were from China, 26 from India and 8 of which were from Pakistan. On the other hand the individual exhibitors were from Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam. The fair held in previous year attracted more than 4100 buyers and sector representatives.

To maximise the buyer sourcing time, the suppliers were divided into clearly signposted areas at the fair. In these areas, India pavilion, with their latest range of cottons and Pakistan Zone with their cotton yarns at competitive price points attracted attention. On the other hand, the Chinese exhibitors were grouped as cotton yarn zone, linen/ramie zone, man-made fiber and yarn zone and debut nylon zone.

This year, Haksa İplik was the only Turkish company participated in the fair. The company that performs production in its facility in Uşak Organized Industrial Zone, has been in the sector since 1986. The company manufactures cotton/polyester, cotton/acrylic, wool/acrylic, cotton/polyester acrylic and wool/acrylic/polyester yarns. With the pleating and twisting machines in its facilities, the company is able to manufacture thrown yarns up to 2 to 4 layers.


China Seeks for Innovative Products

The fair, which shaped its concept according to the increasing demand within the Chinese market for sustainability and innovative fiber and yarn products, presented a vision in line with China’s 12th five year plan. According to this plan that includes China’s goals within the textile sector until 2015, China focuses on the products derived from stem fibers, plants and animal protein as well as multi fiber blends. Within this frame, the country develops its sustainability strategy and standardisation policy. It is expected that the need for raw yarn and fiber materials will double in many textile mills of China. As a result of this, regenerated and synthetic fiber and yarns gain importance in the fair, where the number of participants and visitors is always on the increase.

The figures in china show that the need for regenerated fiber has increased; 55 billion tons of regenerated cellulose fibres (bamboo and straw), 10 billion tons of regenerated polysaccharide fibres (crustaceans and marine shells), 13 – 15 billion tons of seaweed fibre resources. It is aimed that China’s yarn industry will become more environmentally-firendly and socially responsible over the next five years.
