HSGE Shanghai

HSGE Shanghai 2026 will take place from March 23 to 25, 2026 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. The exhibition is organised as the 8th edition of the HSGE series and is held concurrently with other specialised accessory shows under the Fashion Accessories Shanghai framework. According to official positioning, the combined exhibition scale reaches approximately 50,000 m², creating a dense sourcing environment for professional buyers. This scale enables procurement teams to compare suppliers across product types, materials and production capabilities, while exhibitors benefit from concentrated access to buyers with defined ordering requirements and seasonal planning objectives.

The thematic focus of HSGE Shanghai 2026 covers hats, headwear, scarves, shawls, gloves and related fashion accessories, with an expanded emphasis on sun-protection wear such as masks, sleeves, protective glasses and functional apparel for outdoor and lifestyle use. The exhibition framework is built around the supply chain perspective, linking finished products with raw materials, auxiliary components and production equipment. This structure reflects real purchasing logic in the accessories sector, where buyers evaluate not only design and fashion relevance but also production stability, replenishment speed and compliance with channel requirements.

HSGE Shanghai attracts a professional B2B audience including manufacturers, OEM/ODM suppliers, brand owners, importers, distributors, wholesalers and retail buyers. The exhibitor base traditionally includes companies from established Chinese accessory manufacturing clusters such as Yiwu, Qingdao, Wenling, Dongguan, Cixi and Deqing, alongside suppliers serving international markets. For buyers, this concentration allows direct assessment of factory capabilities and cooperation models. For exhibitors, the visitor profile supports commercially focused discussions on pricing, customisation, minimum order quantities and long-term supply agreements rather than promotional exposure alone.

The exhibition showcases a broad range of fashion accessories including hats, scarves, gloves and related products, as well as sun-protection wear designed for outdoor, leisure and functional use. In addition to finished goods, the exhibit scope extends to raw and auxiliary materials and production equipment supporting the accessories industry. This comprehensive scope enables buyers to address sourcing needs across multiple stages of the value chain, while suppliers can position themselves as long-term partners capable of supporting both product development and scalable production.

HSGE Shanghai 2026 will be hosted at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, a venue suitable for high-density B2B sourcing events. For professional buyers, venue layout and accessibility are critical to meeting efficiency, as accessory procurement often requires reviewing a large number of suppliers within limited timeframes. The Shanghai location also provides logistical advantages for international participants and supports follow-up factory visits and negotiations before or after the exhibition.

HSGE Shanghai is jointly organised by the Shanghai Fashion Accessories Society, its specialised committees, and Shanghai Gehua Exhibition Service Co., Ltd. The organiser’s long-term focus on fashion accessories exhibitions underpins the event’s continuity and B2B orientation. For participants, organiser experience and industry alignment are practical indicators of buyer quality, exhibitor relevance and the likelihood that participation will lead to concrete sourcing results and sustainable cooperation.
