The 13th International Yarn, Fabrics and Accessories Show 2026, being held alongside the Bangladesh TEXCHEM Expo 2026, began on Thursday at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) in Dhaka.
The four-day international trade shows bring together global suppliers of yarn, fabrics, garment accessories and textile chemicals, providing Bangladesh’s ready-made garment (RMG) sector with an opportunity to explore sourcing options and establish direct links with international suppliers.
The 13th edition of the show, organized by ASK Trade & Exhibitions Pvt. Ltd., features participation from more than 150 local and international companies showcasing their latest products and collections of yarn, fabrics, accessories and textile chemicals to the RMG sector of Bangladesh.
The event is targeted at garment manufacturers and exporters, buying houses and fabric processors, enabling them to connect with international suppliers and source their requirements locally.
The inauguration ceremony was graced by Mohammad Hatem, president of the Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA), as the Chief Guest.
The event was also honored by the presence of Prof. Dr. Engr. Ayub Nabi Khan, vice-chancellor of BGMEA University of Fashion & Technology (BUFT); Kazi Mizanur Rahman, director of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers & Exporters Association (BGMEA); Md. Shahriar, president of the Bangladesh Garments Accessories & Packaging Manufacturers & Exporters Association (BGAPMEA); Masud Ali Khan, vice-president of the Bangladesh China Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCCCI); and Mehedi Hasan Bhuiyan, president of the Bangladesh Merchandisers and Suppliers Association (BMSA), as Guests of Honor.
BKMEA President Mohammad Hatem said, “Government policy support is extremely important for boosting investment and industrial growth in the country. Alongside attracting foreign investment, it is also necessary to ensure a favorable environment to retain existing investors in the country. I would urge the government to reduce the complexities of the certification process and make it simpler and faster.”
Tipu Sultan Bhuiyan, Managing Director of ASK Trade & Exhibitions Pvt. Ltd., said, “New technologies and innovative fabric sourcing are essential for the growth and development of the apparel sector. Our key objective is to bring international suppliers closer to local exporters and manufacturers. In line with this objective, the 13th edition of the International Yarn, Fabrics & Accessories Show, held concurrently with the Bangladesh TEXCHEM show with a special pavilion from CHEMEXCIL India, is aimed at creating greater sourcing and business opportunities for the industry.”
The show is open to all business visitors between 11 am to 7 pm.
