Unlike previous exhibitions, the number of buyers in Africa, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Turkey and other countries and regions will also increase significantly.
Products are more automated and intelligent

Among them, the 17th China (Dongguan) International Textile and Clothing Industry Technology Exhibition will bring together first-class equipment suppliers at home and abroad to show the top technology of textile and clothing. For example, a large number of well-known enterprises such as heavy machinery, silver arrow and stopper in the sewing field, Hiroshima in the knitting field, Jakob Mueller in the weaving field, Tiandao in the embroidery and laser field, Yue Ming of the Dazu nationality, Jin Aoyu, and Sichuan, Osima, Shanghai and Eagle in the CAD/CAM field will participate in the exhibition. In addition, invisible champions in the subdivisions of ironing equipment and accessories will appear one after another. During the exhibition, the 9th Eye Short Hand Fast Marking Competition will be held, which attracts the attention of the industry. Experts from all walks of life will be invited to hold a number of technical seminars to discuss the latest information and technology of the textile and garment industry.
The 17th China (Dongguan) International Shoe Machinery Shoe Material Industry Technology Development will further broaden the scope of exhibits. At that time, sole shoe machine, the entire production line, shoe upper production, bag machinery, bag machinery, leather processing machinery, leather and artificial leather will appear in the whole industry chain. Houjie Town famous Ling, Lu Xin, Qifeng and a number of well-known shoe machine enterprises will bring new technologies and new products to the exhibition. As one of the highlights of the exhibition, "Hong Kong Shoe Design Exhibition Area" will exhibit a number of works by Hong Kong shoe designers.
"Although the scale of the exhibition is about 5% smaller than that of last year, the exhibitors and their products are more automated and intelligent. When a piece of cloth is put in, the sewing equipment of a garment comes out at a click, and the shoemaking technology basically completed by robots will be seen in this exhibition." The organizer of the exhibition, Guangdong Information Exhibition and Exhibition Co., Ltd., said that in the face of the changing market demand and the growing call for "machine replacement", the exhibitors of the two major exhibitions will focus on displaying highly efficient automated production equipment, and strive to help enterprises reduce manpower, improve production efficiency, save energy and protect the environment, and reduce production costs.
Emerging African Market Buyers in Southeast Asia
In fact, it has become a common phenomenon that labor-intensive industries such as textile, clothing and shoes are shifting to more inexpensive areas such as inland cities or Southeast Asia. What new opportunities and challenges will these two shoemaking and garment professional and technical exhibitions, which have been held for 17 years in succession, face this year?
"There will be more buyers from other provinces and emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and Africa this year, because the exhibition industry is still the most developed here, they will come to see new technology and buy equipment." The person in charge of the analysis said. In addition, although some large enterprises in related industries will locate their new factories in provinces or Southeast Asia, their headquarters and design centers will remain in Dongguan or the Pearl River Delta, where there is the most perfect industrial chain. March is the best time for them to start a new year's procurement plan after the festival.
According to its disclosure, in this exhibition, there will be a substantial increase in buyers from other provinces, including Jiangxi, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui, Henan and Sichuan. Meanwhile, buyers in Africa and Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Turkey and other countries and regions will also increase significantly. It is worth mentioning that officials of Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Brazil and other countries'embassies in Guangzhou will also organize delegations to visit.
In view of the growing number of buyers in emerging markets, Houjie Lu Xin Shoe Machine has won nearly 100 square meters of booth this year, and plans to bring a batch of new products such as automatic feeding and cutting robots. "We want to win the world through both domestic and foreign markets." Relevant responsible person of Lu Xin's shoe machine thinks that there is still much to be done in the shoe machine market. For example, foreign manufacturers can mainly make orders for large-scale production, while the enterprises left behind in China are working hard to make quality small orders, which have higher requirements for technology, thus triggering a large demand for high-quality production equipment. In recent years, Lu Xin has launched Mark Sewing Machine and other shoe machine products with core technology, which are very popular in the market. He has won large orders from Nike, Adidas and many foreign shoe enterprises. The proportion of domestic and foreign sales is about 5:5.
