Focusing on the dual circulation, 2025 PH Value Yiwu will empower the new development of the knitting industry.

　　On February 27, 2025, the press conference for the China (Yiwu) International Knitting Supply Chain Expo (hereinafter referred to as "PH Value Yiwu Exhibition") was held in Yiwu, Zhejiang.

　　This exhibition is guided by the China National Textile Industry Council and jointly hosted by the China Knitting Industry Association, the Textile Industry Branch of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, and Yiwu China Commodity City Exhibition Co., Ltd. It will be held from April 27 to 29 at Hall A1 of the Yiwu International Expo Center.

　　Lin Yunfeng, president of the China Knitting Industry Association, stated at the press conference that in 2024, the Chinese knitting industry overcame multiple challenges, achieving a year-on-year revenue growth of 4.2% for enterprises above designated size, with total exports reaching 182.3 billion USD, and significant export growth to emerging markets such as ASEAN and Central Asia. In the face of opportunities such as the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road" initiative and the release of RCEP policy dividends, this exhibition will deeply integrate resources such as cross-border e-commerce and international logistics in Yiwu, providing low-cost solutions for enterprises to expand into traditional markets in Europe and America as well as emerging markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

　　"The outward orientation of the Yiwu market has reached 60%, forming a trade pattern of 'buying globally and selling globally.'" Liu Junxia, deputy director of the Yiwu Market Development Committee, introduced that this PH Value Yiwu Exhibition is held against the backdrop of the national business work conference proposing to cultivate new momentum for foreign trade and expand cross-border e-commerce. It aims to build a platform for display, communication, and cooperation for the knitting industry, promoting the transformation and upgrading of Yiwu's textile and garment industry and high-quality development.

　　Chang Qing, vice president of the Textile Industry Branch of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, revealed that the exhibition will set up two major themed exhibition areas: the knitted clothing and accessories area and the raw and auxiliary materials area, attracting 16 industrial clusters from Liaoning, Shantou, Xingcheng, and other regions to participate. More than 60 leading enterprises such as Langsha, Kaidi, and Yuejia will showcase cutting-edge technologies such as intelligent weaving and environmentally friendly dyeing and finishing. A special functional fabric trend exhibition area will release 12 types of innovative products, including antibacterial and phase change temperature-regulating products. Concurrently, professional activities such as the China Seamless Knitting International Forum and the Sock Industry Development Report Demonstration Conference will also be held.

　　After the press conference, representatives visited the Yiwu International Trade City and the Global Digital Trade Center, experiencing the market's digital procurement process on-site. As the annual event of the Chinese knitting industry, the PH Value Yiwu Exhibition is expected to attract over 2,000 exhibitors and 50,000 professional buyers, providing an important platform for global cooperation in the knitting industry chain.
