The global textile and apparel community is converging on the Javits Center this week as Texworld NYC, Apparel Sourcing NYC, and Printsource return from January 20–22, 2026. This premier winter event unites international exhibitors and industry leaders for three days of high-impact discovery and connection. In an era where supply chain resilience is paramount, the 2026 showcase serves as a vital compass for navigating a market that increasingly demands both agility and accountability.
As 2026 begins, Brazil’s agricultural sector is facing a starkly contradictory scenario as domestic cotton prices have plummeted to their lowest levels since 2009. This sharp decline is the result of a "perfect storm": a massive national surplus following a record-breaking harvest coupled with sluggish demand from the domestic manufacturing industry. While international export volumes—particularly to Asian markets—remain robust, the sheer volume of supply flooding the local market has created a price suppression not seen in 16 years.
The Chilean government has officially embarked on an ambitious reform of its textile and garment industry by integrating the Digital Product Passport (DPP) system. This policy is a core component of the expanded Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework, which now targets the textile sector as a primary contributor to industrial waste. Under this new mandate, every textile product entering or produced within the Chilean market must be equipped with a digital tracking system. This system provides comprehensive information regarding the product's carbon footprint, raw material origins, and end-of-life recycling guidelines.
