Tokyo Textile Show 2026: Ocean Star PA11 FDY Filament Promotion in the Japanese Market

Tokyo Textile Show 2026: A Feast for Green Transformation and Technological Innovation in the Japanese Textile Industry

From April 8th to 10th, 2026, the Tokyo Big Sight will host the annual textile industry extravaganza – the Tokyo International Fabrics, Yarns, Buttons & Accessories Exhibition (TOKYO TEXTILE). As an industry benchmark exhibition bringing together over 800 exhibitors and 25,000+ professional buyers from around the world, this year’s exhibition focuses on “Sustainable Innovation & Functional Upgrades,” featuring eight specialized exhibition areas including a Sustainable Fabrics Pavilion, a Functional Technology Zone, and a Sports Fashion Exhibition. This precisely aligns with the Japanese textile market’s expected annual growth rate of 3.1% and a market size of US$82.3 billion. Domestic Japanese buyers account for a high proportion of 65%, with particularly strong demand for functional materials in the automotive, sports fashion, and medical fields, providing a vast market space for bio-based fibers. Ocean Star PA11 FDY Filament: Three Core Advantages for the Japanese Market

1. Lifecycle Sustainability, Leading the Green Track
The Japanese textile industry is accelerating its transformation towards a circular economy. Domestic giants such as Toray and Asahi Kasei are investing heavily in bio-based materials, and consumer preference for environmentally certified products is driving “environmental premium” to become a market consensus. Ocean Star PA11 FDY filament uses renewable castor oil as its raw material, avoiding the environmental burden of petroleum-based fibers from the source. The production process employs a closed-loop design, reducing CO2 emissions by more than 40% compared to traditional nylon. The product has passed OEKO-TEX® environmental certification and supports biodegradability in various scenarios such as industrial composting and marine environments, perfectly matching the core requirements of the Sustainable Fabrics Pavilion at the exhibition. It provides Japanese brands with a traceable supply chain solution that complies with RCS recycling declaration standards. 2. Multifunctional Integration, Adaptable to High-Value-Added Sectors in Japan
The Japanese market’s demand for functional textile materials spans diverse scenarios including automotive, sports equipment, and medical:
Sports Fashion:Leveraging the newly added Sports Fashion Expo, Ocean Star PA11 FDY filament, with its lightweight (density only 1.03g/cm³), high elastic recovery rate (≥95%), and antibacterial and odor-resistant properties, has become an ideal raw material for yoga wear and ski equipment. Its silky smooth luster enhances the design quality of high-end sportswear.
Automotive Textile Applications:Meeting the Japanese automotive industry’s demand for lightweight components, this filament boasts excellent oil resistance and impact resistance, making it suitable for automotive interior fabrics and brake system protective covers, contributing to weight reduction and efficiency improvements in new energy vehicles.
Medical and Healthcare:Biocompatibility certification allows it to be used in surgical guides and rehabilitation clothing. Its soft, skin-friendly feel and breathability meet the stringent standards of medical textiles. 3. Technological Adaptability, Responding to the Needs of Japan’s Industrial Upgrading The digital technology zone at the Tokyo Textile Show highlighted the industry trend of small-batch customization and rapid response. Ocean Star PA11 FDY filament is compatible with innovative processes such as digital printing and seamless weaving. During dyeing, its dye absorption rate is 30% higher than traditional nylon, enabling rapid rendering of highly saturated colors, perfectly matching the Japanese fashion industry’s dual pursuit of personalized design and efficient production. Its superior mechanical properties allow for diverse processing methods such as flat knitting and handcrafted creations, providing designers with a wider creative space.

Exhibition Highlights: Three Interactive Highlights to Deepen Connections with the Japanese Market
Customized Solution Showcase:A dedicated booth in the Sustainable Fabrics Pavilion will demonstrate the composite process of PA11 FDY filament with natural fibers such as wool and linen, showcasing finished samples of sportswear and automotive interiors.
Technical Workshop Participation:A “Bio-based Fiber Application Seminar” will be held in conjunction with Japanese fabric technology experts, analyzing cost optimization solutions for this filament in low-temperature dyeing and recycling.
Precise Business Matching:A sample application channel will be opened in advance through the exhibition’s e-guidebook, providing small-batch trial production support for 65% of Japanese domestic buyers, meeting the customized procurement needs of department stores and sports brands.
Conclusion: Building a Sustainable Future for the Japanese Textile Industry

With the continued rise in demand for bio-based materials in the Japanese textile market, Ocean Star PA11 FDY filament, with its triple value of “environmental attributes + functional advantages + technological compatibility,” has become a core focus of the 2026 Tokyo Textile Exhibition. We look forward to collaborating deeply with Japanese brands, manufacturers, and designers to inject the innovative power of renewable materials into fashion, automotive, and medical fields, jointly driving the industry towards a greener and more efficient transformation. Join us at Tokyo Big Sight in April to explore new paths for sustainable development in the textile industry!
