In this golden autumn season, the ITCPE Guangzhou (full name: 2025 Guangzhou International Textile Clothing and Printing Industry Expo) team split into two groups, with full enthusiasm and expectations, embarked on a journey to the African continent and South American continent, with the destination directly pointing to the historic and vibrant Cairo, Egypt and Peru.

---------Egypt

At the Cairo International Convention & Exhibition Centre (CICC), a modern landmark building built with Chinese aid and international reputation, we gathered with colleagues from the global textile and garment industry at the "Cairo Fashion & Tex" exhibition to jointly start a dialogue on fashion, innovation and cooperation.

Egypt Cairo Market Visit

Egypt, as the shining pearl of Africa's economy and industry, has a textile and garment industry that is one of its traditional pillar industries, accounting for 3% of Egypt's GDP and 27% of its total manufacturing output. Not only does it have unique natural conditions that breed high-quality cotton, but it also has abundant labor resources and has become the largest and most productive cotton and textile cluster on the African continent. However, in the face of growing market demand, Egypt's local production capacity seems to be stretched, which provides huge cooperation space for domestic and foreign textile and garment companies.

The ITCPE Guangzhou team is well aware of this opportunity. Through in-depth market visits and exhibition promotion, they not only deeply felt the urgent demand for high-quality and well-designed products in the Egyptian textile and garment market, but also gained strong interest and enthusiastic feedback from buyers and brand owners in Egypt and other parts of Africa.

During the conversation, the ITCPE Guangzhou team introduced the latest development trends of China's textile and garment industry, as well as the overview of previous Guangzhou Textile Expo to international friends. They all expressed their great anticipation for the ITCPE Guangzhou, which will be held at Poly World Trade Center Expo, Guangzhou, China (PWTC Expo) from May 19 to 21 next year, and hoped to visit ITCPE Guangzhou for visits and purchases. They also look forward to establishing long-term and stable cooperative relations with Chinese textile and garment enterprises through the Guangzhou Textile Expo platform, and jointly exploring new blue ocean in the African textile and garment market.

---------Peru

In Peru in South America, the ITCPE Guangzhou team also received a warm welcome.

The Peruvian textile and clothing market has a unique geographical location and rich natural resources. It is an important link in the global textile and clothing industry chain, especially in the production of organic cotton and Pima cotton, where it has significant advantages.

It is understood that the market size of Peru's textile and clothing market is expected to reach US$5.22 billion in 2024, among which the women's clothing market occupies a dominant position. With its unique design, fine craftsmanship and high-quality fabrics, it has successfully attracted a large number of international orders.

In addition, the Peruvian government also attaches great importance to the development of the textile and clothing industry. By providing policy support, promoting technological innovation and industrial upgrading, actively participating in international trade exhibitions and cooperation, and strengthening ties with the international market, it strives to enhance the international competitiveness of Peru's textile and clothing products. The arrival of the Guangzhou Textile Expo team provides Peruvian textile and clothing companies with a valuable opportunity to showcase their products and expand international markets.

Peruvian companies highly recognized the vigorous vitality and unlimited potential of China's textile, garment and apparel industry, and look forward to establishing long-term and stable cooperative relations with Chinese companies through the platform of Guangzhou Textile Expo, and jointly exploring new blue oceans in the international textile, garment and apparel market.

As an important event in the textile, garment and apparel industry, Guangzhou Textile Expo will continue to uphold the purpose of innovation, development and win-win cooperation, and contribute to the prosperity and development of the global textile, garment and apparel industry. Whether it is the shining pearl of Cairo, Egypt, or the vibrant land of Peru, they will become witnesses of our joint exploration of new opportunities in the textile, garment and apparel industry.
