Surat. The three-day 'Global Fabric Expo-2026', organized by the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SGCCI) from June 26 to 28, 2026, at the Surat International Exhibition and Convention Center (SIECC) in Sarsana, successfully concluded on Sunday.
The expo witnessed significant participation from buyers and industry representatives from both domestic and international markets. According to the organizers, exhibitors at the exhibition are expected to receive business worth over ₹600 crores in the form of spot and potential orders. Chamber of Commerce President Ashok Jirawala stated that the expo aimed to provide a common business platform for fabric manufacturers, textile entrepreneurs, garment manufacturers, fashion designers, exporters, and wholesale buyers, achieving remarkable success.
He mentioned that around 20,000 visitors attended the exhibition in the first two days, while approximately 15,000 people visited the expo on Sunday, despite it being a holiday. In total, over 35,000 visitors and more than 2,500 actual buyers participated in the exhibition over the three days. Jirawala noted that a large number of buyers and purchasing managers from various corporate companies came specifically to the expo from major textile markets across the country, including Jaipur, Jodhpur, Erode, Pune, Varanasi, Gwalior, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Kolkata, Lucknow, Chennai, Mumbai, and Delhi.
The expo chairman, Dr. Haresh Patel, mentioned that this time, modern technology-based fabrics attracted special attention from buyers. The demand was particularly high for position print viscose fabrics, salsa plain and salsa booty fabrics made on airjet machines. Additionally, buyers favored nylon fabric, top-dyed saree fabric, plain fabric made on waterjet looms, and dobby fabric for home furnishing.
Dr. Patel reported that during the exhibition, there was a significant number of inquiries and orders from garment manufacturers regarding waterjet value addition fabric and denim fabric. The positive feedback from buyers has opened new business opportunities for Surat's textile industry. The organizers believe that this expo not only provided a successful platform to connect Surat's textile industry with national and international buyers but also laid a strong foundation for future export and domestic business growth.
