ITMA ASIA + CITME Singapore 2025, the region’s leading textile machinery exhibition, has garnered strong support from across the industry ahead of its opening on 28 October. More than 80 textile and garment associations have pledged their backing, with many organising delegations to attend the event at Singapore Expo.

Among the supporting organisations are the All-Pakistan Textile Mills Association, Asosiasi Pertekstilan Indonesia, Association of Iran’s Textile Industries, Confederation of Indian Textile Industry, International Trade Centre, Malaysian Knitting Manufacturers Association and the Sri Lankan Apparel Exporters Association.

“Our members look forward to attending ITMA ASIA + CITME, Singapore 2025 as the gains they make in automation, digitalisation and resource efficiency will translate into higher productivity, lower costs and stronger compliance with global buyers,” said Kamran Arshad, Chairman of APTMA.

The exhibition has also drawn interest from Africa. Joseph Ikpe, National President of the Garments and Footwear Factory Owners Association of Nigeria, commented: “This exhibition is a key opportunity for us to see advanced machinery and make the right investment decisions. With Africa gaining attention as a sourcing destination, now is the time to invest in technology that matches our ambitions.”

The showcase will feature 19 product sectors spanning the entire textile value chain, with more than 800 exhibitors from 30 countries and regions. Early bird visitor registration closes on 28 September.

“Participants will find that Singapore offers exceptional value for industry professionals beyond business,” said Sylvia Phua, Project Director of ITMA Services. “Visitors can combine a productive trip with the island’s cultural attractions and world-class dining.”
