Next Stop, Paris.

On September 13, 2010 -16, sponsored by the China Textile Industry Association, the Fifth China Textile and clothing trade exhibition (Paris), jointly organized by the China Textile Association of the International Trade Promotion Association, the China Apparel Association and the Frankfurt (France) exhibition company, will be held at the LE BOURGET exhibition hall in Paris, and will continue to be held with the French Texworld autumn fabric exhibition in the same period.

　 Continue "one-stop" service

　　 Reporters learned from the organizers that the exhibition will continue to focus on small and medium-sized export enterprises as the main target of service, comply with the European purchasing habits, and use the Texworld medium rare exhibition platform to build a one-stop procurement platform for European buyers through the integration of the transnational purchasing industry chain.

As a large-scale self run exhibition held in Europe, it is also the only national large-scale textile and clothing exhibition held by the Chinese textile and garment industry in Europe. Since the exhibition of the China Textile and clothing trade exhibition (Paris), it has attached great importance to the quality of exhibitors and products. At the same time, the invitation of professional spectators has been intensified and deepened, and the supply and demand information of exhibitors and spectators has been matched. This "trade and speed matching" initiative has achieved good results. Many enterprises have found or expanded their trade channels through exhibitions, thus strengthening confidence in opening up the European market.

After several years of exploration and accumulation, China's textile and clothing trade exhibition (Paris) has gradually matured and accumulated a relatively fixed audience resources. According to the survey of purchasing habits, for many small and medium buyers in Europe, suppliers must have a certain degree of understanding before they will make field visits. In the face of massive online supplier information, they also said they felt at a loss. All exhibitors attending the China Textile and clothing trade exhibition (Paris) can enjoy the unique PRODUCT PILOT system and I-TEX system service of Frankfurt company, that is, using the Frankfurt exhibition company's network platform, exhibitors can carry out the exhibition information release throughout the year. These filtered suppliers' information is well received and recognized by small and medium-sized buyers in Europe, thereby effectively increasing the trade success rate of enterprises.

In 2009, nearly twenty thousand professional spectators visited the exhibition site. Over 30% of them are clothing wholesalers / retailers, 31% are agents, and about 21% are European garment manufacturers. According to statistics, more than 60% of the audience are company or enterprise decision-makers, effectively ensuring the trade effectiveness of exhibitors.

　 Guiding enterprises to pass the cold winter

　　 In the European economic downturn, last year, in order to more effectively promote the linkage between the upstream and downstream industries, CTAF and TEXWORLD exhibited together, covering a total area of more than 20 thousand square meters. It brings together 40 excellent Chinese enterprises from Beijing, Anhui, Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Shanghai and Zhejiang provinces, such as Shun Mei clothing, Langdi clothing, Pan American clothing, Zhejiang Zhongda Group, Wuxi Sufu and Guangming Guangming. The exhibits include clothing for men and women, casual wear, children's wear, clothing and all kinds of fabrics.

Chinese exhibitors carefully prepared the rich exhibits attracted retailers from France, Britain, Spain, Italy, Germany, Greece and other countries, wholesalers, importers and exporters, agents, manufacturers, department stores and designers and other professional spectators to come to the trade for discussion and procurement.

Through the questionnaire analysis of exhibitors, more than 80% exhibitors were satisfied with the quality of the exhibition, and 78% of the exhibitors were satisfied with the quality of the audience. Establishing and maintaining customer relationships, opening up, understanding the market, market research and obtaining orders is the main purpose of exhibitors. The exhibitors are more effective in the production of medium and high class men's clothing, high value-added products with independent research and development, and sharp judgement and good grasp of the European market.

Due to the same period with the Texworld fabric exhibition, the "China Textile and clothing trade exhibition (Paris)" has a higher starting point, effectively promoting the links between upstream and downstream resources of the industrial chain, thus giving full play to the role of professional trade exhibition windows, platforms and links. The idea of exhibition based on industry and service industry has made the European Exhibition an important channel to guide and help enterprises to adapt themselves to the European market and to survive the cold winter.

　 Promotion will go ahead.

　　 In 2010, during the promotion conference held by China International Clothing and accessories fair, Michael Scherpe, President of Frankfurt French company and President David Audrain of Frankfurt American company attended the meeting, and presented the current trend of clothing purchasing in Europe and the United States to the guests and the companies present. They believe that participating in the mature Procurement Exhibition is a very convenient and effective way to open up overseas markets. China Textile and clothing trade exhibition (CTAF IN TEXWORLD) and New York international garment purchasing Exhibition (APP) are Paris and New York business circle only large clothing exhibition, which is located in Paris. It is the first choice for enterprises to seize market opportunities and stabilize and develop the European and American markets.

According to the data released by the French Statistical Bureau (INSEE), the economic prosperity index of France's manufacturing, service, wholesale and retail sales reached 91 points in March, and has been improving for 10 consecutive months. Meanwhile, the European Commission announced that the consumer confidence index of the euro zone also rebounded slightly in March. According to the statistics of China's textile and clothing exports, the total export volume of textiles and clothing in 2010 was 28 billion 240 million US dollars, up 29% from the same period last year, of which 10 billion 160 million of textile exports increased by 39.5%, and clothing exports 18 billion 80 million US dollars, an increase of 23.8%. In February 2010, the total value of textile and clothing exports was 12 billion 638 million US dollars, up 89.3% over the same period last year. Among them, textile exports amounted to 4 billion 567 million US dollars, an increase of 78.2%, and clothing exports of US $8 billion 71 million, an increase of 96.3%.

Overall, since the fourth quarter of 2009, European economic growth has continued to recover rapidly, and the US GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2009 has been greatly improved, and the global economic recovery is likely to be better than expected. It is expected that China's textile and garment exports will increase by 5%-10% in 2010. In addition, with the improvement of the global economic recovery and the recovery of consumer confidence in Europe and the United States, the demand for high-end clothing will gradually recover. The superposition of these factors will be conducive to the stability and recovery of textile and clothing export prices. Under such a market environment, export enterprises need more mature exhibition to establish and stabilize customer relationship.

　 Market expectations are good.

　　 In 2009, the purchasing power of the global consumer market is still deeply affected by the financial tsunami, and its performance is rather weak. Especially in the developed countries such as Europe and the United States, the textile and garment industry, which is mainly sold in the market, is more and more severely impacted, and exports decline significantly. According to Chinese customs statistics, the total import and export volume of textiles and clothing in the mainland last year was only 183 billion 887 million US dollars, down 9.8% from 2008. Among them, imports of US $16 billion 815 million, an annual reduction of 9.3%, exports of US $167 billion 72 million, and an annual reduction of 9.8%.

Entering the 2010, the global textile market has been gradually emerging from the downturn in the global market economy, and the cumulative effect of the state's support policies on textile and garment industry. According to Chinese customs statistics, the export of textiles and garments in the mainland increased from 28.98% in December to 28 billion 242 million in the first 2 months of 2010. Among them, the total export of textiles was US $10 billion 159 million, a significant increase of 39.43% over the same period last year, and the total export of clothing was US $18 billion 83 million, up 23.71% over the same period last year. Especially in February, textile and clothing rose by 78.19% and 96.25% respectively.

It is in this economic situation that entrepreneurs show more confidence in the market. "We have been participating in the exhibition for the two time in succession. We feel that the exhibition has played an important role in opening up the European market. The opportunity to participate in CTAF can not only enhance communication and contact with old customers in Europe, but also prepare for the next stage of trade cooperation. During the exhibition, we were very happy to see some old customers and old friends. In addition, it is particularly important for enterprises to understand the needs of the European market and the trend of product development through exhibitions. When it comes to taking advantage of the China Textile and clothing trade exhibition (Paris), Huang Xiaofeng, deputy general manager of Beijing pan Mei Garments Co., Ltd. said.

There are many entrepreneurs who are confident and expecting for the China Textile and clothing trade exhibition (Paris). On the one hand, professionals are generally optimistic about the situation of China's textile and clothing export in 2010. In addition, the more mature "one-stop" procurement platform brings more and more predictable value to enterprises, which is also what many entrepreneurs are looking for.
