【Sydney, X/X/2025】——The highly anticipated 2025 Australia China Textile & Apparel Exhibition (CTAF) has officially announced its schedule. It will be grandly held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) in Melbourne – Australia’s most vibrant city – from November 18 to 20, 2025. Hosted by the China National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC), this exhibition has successfully run for 24 editions and stands as the largest and most influential professional sourcing event for textiles and apparel in Australia and even the South Pacific region.

Authoritative Platform: Strength Backed by Data, the Preferred Trade Bridge for the Australian Market
With a long history of over 20 years and an outstanding reputation, the Australia China Textile & Apparel Exhibition is a golden gateway to the Australian market. Since 2023, the exhibition has adopted a “twice-a-year” model, alternating between Sydney and Melbourne, with its scale and influence continuing to grow:
- The 2023 Melbourne edition successfully brought together 493 exhibitors and attracted 4,249 high-quality professional buyers for sourcing.
- The Sydney edition in June 2024 achieved even greater success: over three exhibition days, it received approximately 5,200 professional buyers, representing a stunning 49% year-on-year increase in buyer numbers. On-site business negotiations were lively, and exhibitors reaped results far beyond expectations.
These impressive figures fully demonstrate CTAF’s strong appeal and high business conversion efficiency as Australia’s top textile and apparel trading platform.
Targeted Buyer Base: Gather Omnichannel Buyers, Connect with Decision-Makers for Efficient Collaboration
The core value of CTAF lies in its ability to gather the most critical procurement forces in Australia and the South Pacific region. The on-site professional buyers come from diverse and targeted backgrounds, mainly including:
- Wholesalers and importers
- Brand manufacturers and ODM/OEM partners
- Independent retailers and large chain retailers
- Brand agents and distributors
- Rapidly growing e-commerce and online retailers
Attending CTAF means you will communicate face-to-face directly with key personnel who hold procurement decision-making power. This significantly shortens the trade chain and enables efficient business matching.

- Garments: Men’s wear, women’s wear, children’s wear, sports and casual wear, apparel accessories, etc.
