ITMA ASIA + CITME, Singapore 2025 has attracted increasing attention since its launch in Milan last June. Attracted by the regional market opportunities, many leading textile technology brands are looking forward to applying online for a booth starting on 9 April 2024.
The Singapore Show is scheduled to take place from 28 to 31 October 2025 at the Singapore Expo. The exhibition is hosted by CEMATEX, CTMA and CCPIT-Tex. According to the organizers of the exhibition, the number of inquiries from machinery manufacturers has increased significantly because the Singapore exhibition not only targets South and Southeast Asia, but also the very important Middle East market.
Mr. Ernesto Maurer, President of CEMATEX, explained: "These regions offer great opportunities to our members, as technology buyers in these textile and apparel centers are sourcing cost-effective and sustainable solutions to enable production modernization and upgrades.
"The Singapore exhibition complements our ITMA exhibitions in Europe and ITMA ASIA + CITME exhibitions in China. The platform will help broaden the market focus of exhibitors and diversify their influence , allowing them to effectively engage with many buyers who were previously unable to attend these two fairs. We are convinced that for these buyers, Singapore is closer to their home countries and has more convenient visa policies.
Mr. Gu Ping, President of CTMA, said: "The combined exhibition in Singapore has created a new stage of development for China International Textile Machinery Exhibition. We are excited to work with our members to seize the wave of regional opportunities through the Singapore exhibition.
Mr. Daisuke Murata, President of the Japan Textile Machinery Association (JTMA), said, "We congratulate the owners of ITMA ASIA + CITME for their decision to hold a second exhibition in Asia. The Singapore exhibition will help our members better into textile centers in other parts of Asia and even the Middle East.
Ms. Chandrima Chatterjee, Secretary General of the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI), welcomed the exhibition being held in Singapore. She said: "The expansion of the show from Shanghai to Singapore is a recognition of the growing demand from the Asian textile industry, especially the Indian textile industry. Today, the industry is looking for technology to meet its needs to optimize production, minimize supply chain risks, the need for better control of quality and finishing, and increased sustainability in all aspects of production.
She added: "We look forward to the Singapore show being able to meet these needs and help the world's largest textile manufacturing and exporting region take advantage of the latest technology and innovation.
The 2025 Singapore International Textile Machinery Exhibition and ITMA Asia Exhibition (ITMA ASIA + CITME) is known as "the leading textile technology exhibition driving regional growth" and is expected to have an exhibition area of 60,000 square meters. It will attract more than 600 exhibitors and 30,000 visitors.
