2026 20th Shanghai International Hosiery Purchasing Expo

Since its inception in 2005, the Shanghai International Hosiery Purchasing Expo (also known as the Shanghai Hosiery Expo) has successfully held 19 consecutive sessions and has become recognized as the flagship exhibition in the global hosiery industry. In 2026, this expo will celebrate its 20th anniversary, continuing its deep connection to the hosiery industry while also collaborating with other fashion accessories exhibitions to meet purchasing demands. Each year in March, the expo attracts nearly 30,000 professional buyers and purchasers.

As the largest and most prestigious hosiery exhibition in China, the Shanghai Hosiery Expo has evolved into a premier platform for the launch of new products, channel expansion, cross-industry collaboration, and technical exchange in both China and the global hosiery market. The showcased products range from long hosiery items such as leggings, fashion socks, thigh-high socks, jacquard socks to various short socks for children and adults. The exhibition also features the latest knitting machines, including fully computerized high-speed stocking machines and automatic shaping sock machines.

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the expo will join forces with several other specialized exhibitions under Gehua Exhibition, such as the Shanghai International Hat, Scarf & Gloves Exhibition, the Shanghai International Underwear Exhibition, and the Shanghai International Fashion Accessories Exhibition to create the Fashion Accessories Shanghai 2026 event, providing a multidimensional commercial platform that facilitates connections and cooperation between buyers and industry professionals from around the globe. This event will also showcase a variety of fashion accessories, including lingerie, hats, scarves, and gloves to help brands and designers from diverse fields present their latest offerings.
