The official space application process for ITMA ASIA + CITME 2026 opened, setting the stage for what promises to be another landmark event for the global textile machinery industry. The exhibition is scheduled to be held from 20 to 24 November 2026 at the National Exhibition and Convention Centre in Shanghai, one of Asia’s premier event venues.

Prospective exhibitors are encouraged to submit their applications through the official website, www.itmaasia.com, before the deadline on 24 March 2026.

Celebrating its 10th combined edition, ITMA ASIA + CITME continues to serve as Asia’s leading business platform for textile machinery. The event is poised to foster innovation, collaboration, and commercial opportunities across the textile manufacturing value chain. A hallmark of the exhibition will be its strong focus on advanced technologies, sustainability, and automation, aligning with global trends in green innovation and digital transformation.

The success of the 2024 edition underscores the significance of this biennial event. That edition covered 160,000 square metres and hosted over 1,700 exhibitors from 22 countries and regions. Notably, many local and international brands used the platform for high-profile product launches, which were met with an enthusiastic reception from attendees.

Over 90,000 visitors from 111 countries and regions attended the five-day event in 2024, with robust domestic participation from all 31 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions across China. The scale and diversity of attendance affirm the exhibition’s pivotal role in the industry.

According to the joint show owners CEMATEX, the Sub-Council of Textile Industry of CCPIT (CCPIT TEX), the China Textile Machinery Association (CTMA), and the China International Exhibition Centre Group Corporation (CIEC) many previous exhibitors have already expressed strong interest and high expectations for the 2026 edition.

The exhibition is organised by Beijing Textile Machinery International Exhibition Co., Ltd and co-organised by ITMA Services, with the Japan Textile Machinery Association serving as a special partner.
