Automotive and Industrial Textiles Asia is now the world's fastest growing region for automobile, where textiles are widely applied on automobile production such as seat cover, carpets, roof, heat/sound absorption materials, etc. As British Textile Intelligence predicts, the total volume of textiles per vehicle is expected to reach 35 kg in 2020. Therefore, huge market potential should be highlighted in automobile industry. Confronting the stricter requirement on technology, professionalism and customization from automobile manufacturer, ShanghaiTex 2017 will feature a "Technology for Automotive Textile" theme zone at E1 Hall which mainly demonstrates spinning, weaving, knitting, fiber, glass fiber, filtering material, etc. The show will focus on the latest fiber and technology with a wide range of production solutions to assist enterprises in industrial fabrics, automobile interiors, automobile parts, carpets, construction, electronics factory, etc. so as to grasp the opportunities in the high-growth market. Creative Knitting in Lifestyle Knitting technology is always evolving in accordance to our ever-changing lifestyle. Thus it penetrates our lives with evolving appearance, function and application.
