Space application for ITMA ASIA + CITME 2026 officially opened on 18 June 2025, with the next edition of Asia’s foremost textile machinery exhibition set to take place from 20 to 24 November 2026 at the National Exhibition and Convention Centre in Shanghai. Interested exhibitors are encouraged to apply via the official website, www.itmaasia.com, before the closing date of 24 March 2026.
Now in its 10th combined edition, ITMA ASIA + CITME remains a key platform for industry leaders to connect, innovate, and drive progress across the textile manufacturing value chain. The 2026 exhibition is expected to attract a strong line-up of international and Chinese textile machinery manufacturers, showcasing cutting-edge technologies and sustainable solutions that respond to the sector’s evolving needs.
The show will place particular focus on advanced technologies, automation, and environmentally responsible production processes. With sustainability and digital transformation continuing to reshape global textile production, exhibitors and visitors alike will benefit from a dynamic forum that reflects these priorities.
The last edition of the exhibition, held in 2024, was a significant success, covering 160,000 square metres and hosting more than 1,700 exhibitors from 22 countries and regions. Over 90,000 visitors from 111 countries and regions attended the event, which also enjoyed robust domestic support, with attendees from all 31 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions across China.
According to the event owners – CEMATEX, the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT (CCPIT TEX), China Textile Machinery Association (CTMA), and China International Exhibition Centre Group Corporation (CIEC) – there is already strong interest from returning and prospective exhibitors, anticipating another successful edition in 2026.
Organised by Beijing Textile Machinery International Exhibition Co., Ltd and co-organised by ITMA Services, ITMA ASIA + CITME 2026 will again benefit from the support of the Japan Textile Machinery Association as a special partner.
