This year’s Autumn Fair – taking place from 2 – 5 September, 2018 – will see the show extending its Children’s Gifts, Toys & Gadgets offering to include children’s apparel.
The decision was taken following the news that childrenswear trade show Bubble London is closing its doors after ten years in business.
“Childrenswear suppliers and retailers have faced challenging trading conditions of late, but the market is still forecast to grow significantly in the coming years,” says Louise Young, managing director, Spring Fair and Autumn Fair.
She continued; “Companies that react to changing consumer expectations and deliver products that are on-trend will succeed in growing their market share. Bringing childrenswear exhibitors and buyers together will only help facilitate success, and drive innovation.”
She added that while Bubble London had played a pivotal role in the sector, retailers are currently diversifying by offering a variety of product categories aimed at different demographics. “Gifting children’s clothing and accessories is a key area of sell-through for retailers,” she stated. The sector is predicted to grow by more than 10% over the next three years.
