ITMA ASIA + CITME Singapore 2025 has received overwhelming support, surpassing the expectations of the textile machinery show’s owners with a 30% increase in the number of applicants to date.

Scheduled to be held at the Singapore Expo from October 28-31 2025, over 770 technology and service providers from 33 countries and regions have so far applied for space at the exhibition. They include many international textile machinery manufacturers as well as new technology providers. As a result of the increased demand, the show owners have expanded the booked hall space from 60,000 to 70,000 square metres.

ITMA ASIA + CITME, Singapore 2025 is owned by CEMATEX, the European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers, CTMA, the China Textile Machinery Association and CCPIT, the China Sub-Council of Textile Industry.

“We are grateful to have the continued support of the industry,” said CEMATEX president Alex Zucchi.  “To accommodate all of the eligible applicants, we have increased the booked hall space to allow more machinery manufacturers to showcase their latest products and solutions to the region’s buyers who aspire to leverage technology to drive cost efficiency and remain competitive. 

“The strong interest in the Singapore edition, despite being scheduled just a year after the Shanghai edition, highlights the need to penetrate deeper into emerging markets to sustain and grow the businesses of our manufacturers.”

“In recent years, digital technology has significantly influenced the development of the textile industry, resulting in new demand from regions such as South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East,” added Gu Ping, president of CTMA.”

Spanning seven halls of the Singapore Expo, the show will feature 19 product chapters compartmentalising the complete textile and garment manufacturing chain. Based on the exhibition’s unique selling proposition, the exhibits have been clustered in product sectors, enabling buyers to source more conveniently. The three biggest sectors based on space booked are finishing, spinning and knitting.
