Shaoxing
Shaoxing is a major manufacturing city in Zhejiang Province, best known as one of China’s largest textile and fabric production centers. The city plays a critical role in global apparel and home-textile supply chains, supplying materials to manufacturers and brands worldwide. Shaoxing is home to the Keqiao textile cluster, one of the world’s largest textile trading and manufacturing hubs, producing fabrics for apparel, upholstery, curtains, and home furnishings. The city’s textile output supplies international fashion brands, fast-fashion retailers, and large garment exporters, with many factories operating as OEM and ODM material suppliers rather than finished-goods brand owners. Beyond textiles, Shaoxing also supports dyeing, printing, chemical fibers, packaging, and light machinery manufacturing, alongside growing electronics and industrial component production. Its proximity to Hangzhou, Ningbo Port, and Shanghai provides strong export logistics and access to international markets. Shaoxing is best suited for buyers sourcing fabrics, textiles, home furnishings materials, and textile-related manufacturing where scale, variety, and supply-chain depth are the primary advantages.
