PH Value 2026

About the fair

The China International Knitting Fair (PH Value) is an international exhibition of fashionable knitwear and knitted goods and accessories. It presents a wide range of high-quality, creative apparel made from eco-friendly and new knit fabrics, geared to the latest fashion trends and offering excellent value, from leading international and Chinese knitwear makers. Sections include fashion knitwear, sportswear and leisurewear, swimwear and beachwear, underwear and sleepwear, sweaters and cashmere knits. The programme features themed seminars, runway shows by famous brands and young designers, and a young-talent competition. PH Value runs alongside four other textile shows — Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics, the CHIC fashion show, Intertextile Home Textiles and Yarn Expo — with the five events together drawing up to 100,000 visitors and opening unique opportunities for buyers worldwide.

Planning the trip

• Register the badge online. Every major fair issues visitor badges in advance, and on-site registration means queueing on the busiest morning of the show. Registration usually opens one to two months out.
• Check the visa position early. China's entry rules have changed repeatedly in recent years, including visa-free arrangements for a growing list of countries and transit exemptions. Confirm what applies to your passport for this month, and ask the organiser for an invitation letter if a business visa is needed — issuing one is routine.
• Book accommodation before the dates firm up. A large fair fills its host city and rates move accordingly. Cancellable bookings made early cost less than confirmed ones made late.
• Decide which halls before you arrive. The bigger Chinese fairs run to several halls across separate phases, and walking them without a plan burns a day. Shortlist the stands you need and treat anything else as a bonus.
• Plan the follow-up, not just the visit. Business cards collected at a fair convert poorly once you fly home: quotes arrive in patchy English, samples stall, and the time difference eats a day per exchange. Deciding who handles that before you travel is what makes the trip pay for itself.
