Fantastic functional textiles from Taiwan

With the increasing global interests in physical activities as well as the dramatic change in climate, using functional textiles as apparel materials has become more the norm than the exception. Functional clothing nowadays not only provides great comfort, but also fulfills consumers’ aesthetic needs. What’s more, the carbon footprint generated can be more eco-friendly.

Taiwan is known as a major performance textile producer in the world. As the only professional textile trade fair in Taiwan, TITAS is the best platform to check out the latest innovation the industry has to offer on a yearly base. This is an efficient sourcing occasion in Asia for serious buyers who look for new ideas in fibers, yarns, fabrics,  trimmings, textile machinery, apparel and accessories with reasonable prices in order to reinforce their brand and product image and competitiveness.

New era: smart textiles and wearable technologies

Smart textiles and wearable technologies are no doubt the nouvelle vague now in the global textile market. Always staying at the forefront of trends, Taiwan’s textile industry hasn’t hesitated in riding this technical wave.

Smart clothing and wearable technologies made their debut show at TITAS in 2015. Products including clothes with embedded
sensors or embedded smart technologies gave lots of inspiration to and received lots of feedback from exhibitors and visitors. As a show emphasizing innovation, TITAS will definitely accommodate more inventions and breakthrough in this segment at its 2016 edition.

The 20th Taipei Innovative Textile Application Show (TITAS 2016) will be held from October 17-19 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1. There will be 400 exhibitors with more than 760 booths from all over the world to gather in the professional trade show.
