The 20th China Datang International Sock Expo 2026

The sock industry in Zhuji has developed since the 1970s and has a history of about 50 years. With ongoing development, the area has systematically integrated and enhanced the advantages across products, technology, personnel, and the entire industrial chain. Today, Zhuji produces over 25 billion pairs of socks annually, accounting for about 70% of the national output and one-third of the global production, with an industrial scale exceeding 70 billion yuan, earning it the title of the "Sock Capital of the World."

The 20th China Datang International Sock Expo (2026 Datang Sock Expo) will be magnificently held from September 9 to 11, 2026, at the Zhuji International Business City. As the kickoff for the 14th Five-Year Plan, this expo will continue to leverage the ecological, resource, and innovation advantages of Zhuji’s sock industry, driving developments in design fashionization, material functionality, production digitization, international marketing, and industry greening.

The exhibition will showcase new products and technologies across the entire industrial chain and all sock categories, encompassing long socks like pantyhose, fashion socks, thigh-highs, and decorative socks, alongside short socks such as men's, women's, children's, and baby socks. Featured machinery includes high-speed computerized sock knitting machines and jacquard sock machines, among others. Additionally, materials like spandex, polyester, and cotton yarn will be highlighted, as well as related fashion accessories such as lingerie, hats, and scarves.

This exhibition not only offers a highly efficient platform for industry professionals to network and cooperate but also fosters trade to provide strong support for the comprehensive upgrade of the sock industry, enhancing the productivity of enterprises and leading the industry into a new stage of high-quality development.
