In a defining moment for the global textile and apparel industry, the 2nd Asia Sourcing Show 2026 (Textiles & Apparel) is set to take place from 3–5 June 2026 at the IMPACT Exhibition & Convention Center, Bangkok, positioning Thailand at the epicenter of the next era of global sourcing.
Organized Jointly by CEMS-Global USA and the ASEAN Federation of Textile Industries (AFTEX), this landmark platform returns with greater scale, stronger international participation, and a sharper strategic focus – bringing together Asia’s leading manufacturing nations under one roof to meet global sourcing demand.
This edition represents a significant elevation of the platform, with strong global and regional alignment:
- ASEAN Federation of Textile Industries (AFTEX) as Co-Organizer
- International Apparel Federation (IAF) – Netherlands as Strategic Partner
- China Chamber of Commerce for Import & Export of Textiles (CCCT) as Partner
- From Thailand: National Federation of Thai Textile Industries (NFTTI) and Thailand Textile Institute (THTI) as Supporting Organizations, actively mobilizing Thai manufacturers
In addition, the platform is being strengthened by participation and engagement from all AFTEX member associations from 9 ASEAN countries, along with key international industry bodies including the Associations, Chambers of Commerce, and export promotion councils from major Asian textile and apparel manufacturing nations.
A Global Sourcing Platform for a New Industry Reality
At a time when the textile and apparel sector is undergoing a structural reset – driven by geopolitics, tariffs, supply chain diversification, trade realignments, and sustainability imperatives – the 2nd Asia Sourcing Show 2026 emerges as a high-impact, pan-Asian B2B sourcing marketplace.
The event is designed to connect manufacturers from Asia’s textile powerhouses with regional buyers as well as buyers from Europe, North America, South & Southeast Asia, the Far East, and Australasia, creating a dynamic environment where business conversations translate into contracts.
“Asian Manufacturers. Global Buyers. One Powerful Sourcing Show.”
More than just an exhibition, the platform delivers a fully integrated sourcing ecosystem, featuring:
- Apparel manufacturers, yarn & fabric producers, trims & accessories suppliers
- Private labels and full-package manufacturing solutions
- Multi-country sourcing under one roof
- Direct access to decision-makers across the value chain
The show is uniquely positioned as the only global sourcing exhibition showcasing 100% Asian manufacturing capacity across the full textile value chain, reinforcing Asia’s role as the world’s manufacturing backbone.
Co-Located Shows Creating a Complete Value Chain Platform
The 2026 edition will feature a powerful cluster of co-located sourcing exhibitions:
- 2nd Asian International Apparel Sourcing Show 2026
- 2nd Asian International Yarn & Fabric Sourcing Show 2026
Together, these platforms covering the full value chain: Yarn → Fabric → Apparel → Private Label, provide a comprehensive, one-stop sourcing destination, covering everything from raw materials to finished apparel.
Global Sourcing Summit 2026: Where Strategy Meets Execution
Running alongside the exhibition, the Global Sourcing Summit 2026 will convene industry leaders, policymakers, global brands, and sourcing experts to address the most critical issues shaping the industry, including:
- Supply chain resilience and diversification
- Sustainability, compliance, and ESG transformation
- Trade policy shifts and global market access
- Digitalization, AI, and smart manufacturing
The Summit is positioned as a thought-leadership platform to define the future of global sourcing, complementing the exhibition’s strong commercial focus.
The Global Sourcing Summit 2026 will convene global leaders to define the future of sourcing – and we are pleased to share that apart from theInternational Apparel Federation (IAF) as a Strategic Partner,The European Apparel and Textile Confederation (EURATEX)based in Brussels has also confirmed its presence, further reinforcing the Summit’s global relevance and stature.
This convergence of stakeholders is transforming the Show and Summit into a truly pan-Asian, globally relevant sourcing ecosystem – bringing together Asian manufacturers, exporters, regional and global buyers, policymakers, and industry leaders under one integrated platform.
Bangkok: The Strategic Gateway to Asia’s Manufacturing Ecosystem
The choice of Bangkok is both strategic and symbolic. As a neutral, well-connected, and infrastructure-rich hub, Thailand offers unparalleled access to the rapidly expanding manufacturing ecosystems of South and Southeast Asia (ASEAN).
With global supply chains being redrawn, Bangkok is emerging as a central node for multi-country sourcing, trade facilitation, and regional collaboration – a positioning further reinforced by this landmark event.
Our shared vision is clear:
To position Bangkok as the next global hub for textile and apparel sourcing.
Driving Collaboration, Trade & Industry Transformation
The 2nd Asia Sourcing Show 2026 is designed not just as a marketplace – but as a catalyst for long-term industry transformation, bringing together:
- Manufacturers
- Global buyers and sourcing offices
- Trade bodies and industry associations
- Policymakers and institutional stakeholders
The objective is clear: to strengthen regional trade ties, accelerate collaboration, and shape a more resilient, sustainable global textile ecosystem.
A Defining Platform for the Future of Sourcing
With strong international participation, strategic partnerships, and growing global attention, the 2nd Asia Sourcing Show 2026 is poised to become:
- Asia’s most strategic sourcing exhibition
- A central marketplace for multi-country sourcing
- A global meeting point for the textile and apparel value chain
As the industry navigates one of its most transformative phases, this platform stands as a timely and powerful response to the evolving needs of global sourcing.
This initiative goes beyond an exhibition – it is a strategic movement to position Bangkok and ASEAN at the center of global sourcing. We are confident that this edition will lay a strong and lasting foundation for an even more powerful platform in the years ahead.
Our collective vision is clear and ambitious: to firmly establish ASEAN as a premier global sourcing hub for the textile and apparel industry, where Asian manufacturing strength meets global demand under one unified, powerful marketplace.
