Co-organized by Lianya International and China Council for the Promotion of Textile Trade, NGTEX 2026 is a top-tier full-chain B2B textile exhibition with full 5.0 rating in West Africa, with industry heat of 55476 and 30 registered interested buyers. The show receives full support from the Federal Government of Nigeria, Lagos State Government and local textile importer associations, leveraging Lagos as West Africa’s No.1 commercial hub. Covering 10,000 square meters of exhibition space, this edition gathers 600 global exhibitors and expects 12,000 professional buyers from Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Benin and other West African wholesalers, brand retailers and garment factories. Exhibits cover eight major segments: finished garments, African batik fabrics, yarns, footwear & bags, home textiles, garment accessories, textile chemicals and complete sewing & textile machinery. Concurrent West African textile market forums, African ethnic fashion trend briefings and government-enterprise business matchmaking sessions are held to interpret Nigeria’s textile import tariffs and local compliance standards. As Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria suffers insufficient domestic textile production capacity; over 90% of garments, fabrics and machinery rely on import with steady long-term market demand. It serves as the core one-stop sourcing platform for Chinese fabric, apparel, textile machinery and accessory manufacturers to develop West African markets. The organizer reserves the right to adjust exhibition dates and venue without separate prior notice. Value-added services include business visa agency, China-Africa cargo logistics and direct booth delivery after customs clearance.
