ABOUT THE FAIR
Established in 2013, Techtextil India is the leading trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens in the Indian subcontinent. It is specifically tailored to meet the needs of a highly specialized industry where research, innovation, and sustainable development are closely intertwined.
Every two years, the industry gathers in vibrant Mumbai to explore the latest developments and strengthen business networks. The event is organized by Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India Pvt. Ltd., a company with extensive experience in building international industry platforms. As part of the global Techtextil network, the Indian edition benefits from worldwide expertise and effectively translates it to meet regional market demands.
The event highlights every stage of the value chain – from research and development, textile manufacturing processes, fibers, and yarns to composite materials, functional apparel textiles, and innovative applications across sectors such as healthcare, mobility, architecture, and agriculture. Techtextil India not only showcases products but, more importantly, offers practical solutions to real-world challenges – including sustainable textile chemicals, recyclable composites, and smart functional textiles.
A defining feature of Techtextil India is its strong emphasis on knowledge exchange. Formats such as the Techtextil Hackathon, expert forums on industry trends and sustainability, and the Forum on Textile Applications in AgriTech provide a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue. The Excellence Zone offers a glimpse into pioneering projects from renowned research institutions like BTRA, SASMIRA, and ATIRA – an inspiring outlook on the future of textile innovation.
Exhibitors represent a wide range of technology areas including Agrotech, Buildtech, and Clothtech, while trade visitors primarily come from fields such as Medtech, Mobiltech, Oekotech, and related industries. This makes Techtextil India a key meeting point for decision-makers and developers looking to implement or integrate textile solutions in highly specialized applications.
The Techtextil India takes place biennially, and therefore for the 10th time previsibly in November 2027 in Mumbai.
