ZIYANG at AFF·Osaka 2024 SPRING: Elevating Activewear Excellence in Japan’s Premier Fashion Arena
From April 9 to 11, 2024, Ziyang proudly participated in the 40th edition of AFF·Osaka 2024 SPRING at the Osaka Mydome Exhibition Center. As a specialized activewear manufacturer serving over 67 countries, this exhibition marked a significant milestone in our commitment to the Japanese market and the broader Asian fashion ecosystem.
For Ziyang, this was a vital opportunity to showcase technical capabilities and sustainable practices to some of the world’s most discerning buyers.
A Strategic Gateway: Why the Japanese Market Matters
Japan represents the second-largest export market for China’s textile industry, with over 60% of Japan’s textiles and apparel sourced from China. The RCEP agreement has further solidified this relationship, making the Asia Fashion Fair (AFF) a critical platform for manufacturers to connect with powerhouse Japanese buyers.
The spring edition attracted 371 companies across 422 booths and 4,508 professional buyers in attendance.
