(ECNS) -- More than 2,000 fabric suppliers joined the 2026 Global Home Textile Eco-Fashion Exhibition & Shaoxing Keqiao China Textile City Curtain Fabric Exhibition, which opened Wednesday in Keqiao, Zhejiang Province.

China Textile City, the world's largest textile distribution hub, handles about a quarter of global fabric trade annually.

This year's expo adopted a dual-venue format, with the Beilian Market serving as a core exhibition area. Exhibitors showcased new curtain products and technologies, including AI-powered design tools that generate realistic home décor renderings from photos.

The three-day exhibition covers an area of 250,000 square meters and displays a wide range of home textile products, including curtains, wall coverings, kitchen and bathroom fabrics.

Huang Jinwang, an exhibitor from Pujiang, Jinhua, who has been in the sofa cushion business for over 20 years, has pivoted to the pet pad market in the past two years.

He said this is his company's third time exhibiting in Keqiao, with exports now accounting for over 60% of sales. "With the growing number of pet lovers at home and abroad, we have brought hundreds of pet pad designs in the hope of expanding into new markets at this expo."
