Visitors from all over the world have highly appreciated the qualitative products presented by the
exhibitors. As an international platform, the show attracted visitors from 46 countries. Among which, the
number of visitors from Asian countries excluding Hong Kong and China, has grown substantially. In recent
years, countries such as India, Indonesia and Vietnam have and still are experiencing strong domestic market
demand. On the other hand, the export volume in such regions is increasing in terms of textile and more over in
the intimate apparel market. Such favorable circumstances reinforce the need of the bodywear industry.
Meanwhile, it is also important to have Interfiliere Hong Kong as an international sourcing platform which
benefits and connects Asia with the global industry.
Visitors from Europe and Americas slightly increased as well pushed by the needs of advanced and innovative
technology of the activewear industry.
Whereas the visitor number of China witnessed a slight drop partially due to the economic stagnation.

Visitors’ feedbacks
“I am taking Interfiliere Hong Kong as an opportunity to meet new suppliers and as a channel to communicate
with existing suppliers.”
Assistant Merchandising Manager, Rosanna Kwong, Wacoal HK
“I can’t wait for the next edition of Interfiliere Hong Kong. The intimate industry from Hong Kong highly needs
the support of Eurovet as it is really difficult for local trade show organizer to handle this type of international
trade show. In Hong Kong, we do need that international open minded point of view to keep up with the
industry.”
Head of Design and Product Development, Ares Cheng, Charmante (HK)
