What are the industry exhibitions for nylon heat-melt yarn?

I. European Market: A Forefront of High-End Demand and Technological Trends

As a core market for high-end nylon heat-melt yarn applications, Europe’s exhibitions focus on functionality and environmentally friendly innovation, serving as a key gateway for connecting luxury brands with technology-focused buyers.

1. Texworld Paris + Première Vision (International Textile and Accessories Exhibition)
Key Information: The Spring/Summer 2025 editions will be held at the Paris Le Bourget Exhibition Centre and the Villepinte Nord Exhibition Centre from February 10-12 (Texworld) and February 11-13 (Première Vision), respectively. As flagship exhibitions of the Frankfurt Messe Group, the former features a “China Trend Fabric Innovation Exhibition Area,” while the latter covers the entire yarn and accessories supply chain and features a dedicated “Smart Creation” zone.
Procurement Value: Bringing together procurement teams from high-end brands such as Escada and Hugo Boss, the event focuses on nylon hot-melt yarn’s “seamless hot-press adaptability” and “environmentally friendly melting point control technology.” A concurrent trend conference provides early insights into the European market’s demand for lightweight footwear and apparel accessories.

2. MUNICH FABRIC START, Germany
Key Information: Held September 2-3, 2025, at the Munich Order Center, it is recognized as one of Europe’s three major fabric and accessories trade shows, along with Milan’s UNICA and Paris’ PV. 65% of exhibitors are top global suppliers.
Procurement Value: Covering Western, Northern, and Eastern European sourcing networks, the event caters to both mass-market brands like C&A and H&M and high-end custom brands. Nylon hot-melt yarn applications in “functional sports fabrics” and “seamless lace” are particularly popular, and Chinese exhibitors have secured bulk orders in previous events.

II. Asian Market: A Core Venue for Supply Chain Aggregation and Cost Optimization

Leveraging the advantages of its manufacturing base, Asian exhibitions focus on capacity integration and technology implementation, making them ideal for wholesale buyers seeking cost-effective supply chains.

1. China (Wenzhou) International Leather, Footwear Materials, and Shoe Machinery Exhibition
Key Information: The exhibition will be held at the Wenzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center from August 22-24, 2025, across seven exhibition halls. Synthetic leather and sewing equipment exhibitions will also be held concurrently, bringing together resources from the footwear and leather industry chains in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong.
Procurement Value: Companies such as Wokaisi Technology will showcase “ventilated and waterproof hot-melt yarn” and “customizable melting point and fineness products” suitable for shoe uppers and carbon fiber finishing applications. As a core exhibition in the “World Shoe Capital,” the exhibition connects with nylon product supply chains with an annual production capacity exceeding 10 million tons, offering procurement costs 30%-50% lower than those in the European and American markets.

2. Shanghai International Nylon Exhibition + New Fiber Materials and Chemical Fiber Technology Exhibition (CFMTE 2025)
Key Information: Held concurrently at the National Exhibition and Convention Center from September 23-27, 2025, the Shanghai International Nylon Exhibition and New Fiber Materials and Chemical Fiber Technology Exhibition (CFMTE 2025) will feature the full range of PA products in the China International Industry Fair (CIIF) and attract over 100 global buyers with their lists.

Procurement Value: Exhibits cover the entire supply chain, including modified nylon chips and hot-melt filament production equipment. The target audience includes buyers from end-use industries such as automotive and electronics. Of the 200,000 professional visitors at the previous exhibition, 35% specifically sought “low-melting-point hot-melt filament” for environmentally friendly packaging.

3. Shenzhen International Rubber and Plastics Exhibition Nylon Zone
Key Information: Held from April 15-18, 2025, at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center, Halls 16-17 will focus on PA polyamide materials. Companies such as Arkema and Jiangsu Huayang Nylon will participate. Procurement Value: Focusing on engineering plastic-grade nylon hot-melt filaments, the exhibition features mature application technology in industrial fields such as automotive wiring harness fixing and electronic component packaging, making it suitable for bulk purchases of industrial-grade products.

III. North American Market: Direct Sourcing from End Brands and Trend Indicators

The North American exhibition features “direct sourcing from brands + flexible supply chain,” providing a shortcut to entering the West and East Coast markets of the US.

Texworld Los Angeles Apparel Fabrics Show
Key Information: Opening on July 29, 2025, at the CMC Market Center in California, it will form a “coast-to-coast linkage” with the New York show, attracting over 1,200 professional buyers, including Skechers and Disney.

Procurement Value: The exhibition focuses on “sustainability and small orders with quick returns.” Washability and uncoated environmental certification are key purchasing criteria for nylon hot-melt filaments. The concurrent AI Supply Chain Forum will connect with North American brands for immediate replenishment orders.

IV. Buyer’s Practical Guide: Three Key Steps for Precise Exhibition Participation

Regional Selection: The European exhibition focuses on technical certification and high-end orders, so it’s recommended to bring an OEKO-TEX® environmental report. The Asian exhibition focuses on capacity matching, so it’s necessary to verify the supplier’s ISO quality system in advance. The North American exhibition emphasizes flexible delivery, so a minimum order quantity (MOQ) plan is required.

Efficient Matchmaking Tips: Prioritize booking appointments with nylon product companies listed in the exhibitor list (such as Wokaisi at the Wenzhou exhibition and Huayang Nylon at the Shanghai exhibition). Bring samples for testing requirements (such as melting point range and breaking strength) for on-site verification.

Trend Capturing Key Points: Pay attention to three key signals: “Bio-based Hot Melt Filament” at the European exhibition, “3D Printing-compatible Hot Melt Filament” at the Asian exhibition, and “Recycled Material Modified Hot Melt Filament” at the North American exhibition. These will be hot spots for procurement in 2026.

V. Conclusion: Exhibitions are “Accelerators” for Supply Chain Upgrades

For wholesale buyers of nylon hot-melt yarn, exhibitions are not only platforms for order matching but also strategic windows for technological advancement and market development. From production bases in Wenzhou to the cutting-edge trends in Paris, precise exhibition resource allocation can help seize the initiative in balancing functional upgrades with cost optimization. We recommend planning your exhibition calendar along the path of “Asian production capacity connection → European technical certification → North American brand breakthrough” to achieve efficient global supply chain deployment.
