Boost industry confidence and lock in global traffic

　　 Textile and Clothing Weekly: This year, many enterprises have actively participated in or watched exhibitions abroad under the organization of CCPIT. Please talk about the characteristics and situation of international exhibitions in our industrial textile industry.

　　 Liang Pengcheng: For many years, CCPIT has been committed to holding exhibitions at home and abroad throughout the textile industry chain. In the category of nonwovens and industrial textiles, in addition to creating CINTE, a professional exhibition with nearly 30 years of history, it has also organized enterprises to participate in exhibitions including INDEX of Switzerland, IDEA of the United States, and Techtextil International exhibitions, such as Frankfurt Industrial Exhibition, are authoritative and leading professional exhibitions in the industry, providing strong support for domestic enterprises to go global, and also providing an important way to promote the external exchange of the industry and enhance the global competitiveness of the industry.

In the long run, under the new pattern of "double circulation", CINTE exhibition is still an important platform for industrial textile enterprises to explore the market, establish brands and insight into the whole industrial chain.

　　 Textile and Clothing Weekly: This year's exhibition industry has ushered in a wave of climax. What are the opportunities and characteristics of this year's exhibition industry?

　　 Liang Pengcheng: Since 2023, with the overall recovery of the consumption scene and the continuous release of policy dividends, the exhibition industry has recovered rapidly at the speed of explosive growth. Domestic exhibitions and overseas self run exhibitions have been revitalized, and the confidence of industry development has been effectively boosted. The autumn and winter home textile exhibition and the autumn joint exhibition of China Textile Confederation, which just ended in August, fully demonstrated the development concept of "technology, fashion and green". Buyers from all over the world came in flocks, highlighting the trend of market recovery.

From the perspective of the textile industry, it can be seen that since this year, in the ever-changing international environment, China's textile industry has demonstrated resilience and vitality, "moving forward in recovery and stabilizing under pressure". On the other hand, the textile industry is in the critical period of industrial recovery and upgrading. Structural problems and cyclical contradictions are intertwined, external demand is weak, endogenous power is insufficient, and development pressure is still high. For industry exhibitions, challenges and opportunities coexist.

In this context, this year's CINTE exhibition bears the important task of further boosting industry confidence, unblocking the industrial chain and supply chain, and enhancing the independent and controllable ability of the whole industry chain. It will lock in the global flow with new attempts, new ideas and new changes, and provide high-quality products, value thinking and innovation impetus for the development of the global industrial textile industry.
