The event, focusing on innovative and sustainable solutions for the textile and garment value chain, has seen strong interest from industry professionals since visitor registration began in March.

Supporting the upcoming expo are over 80 global textile and garment organisations. These include Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI), International Trade Centre (ITC), All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA), Asosiasi Pertekstilan Indonesia (API), and Sri Lankan Apparel Exporters Association (SLAEA).

APTMA chairman Kamran Arshad views the event as a “good opportunity” for the association members to explore recent innovations that could enhance their business competitiveness.

Arshad said: “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. As such, we have promoted the exhibition to our members and response has been encouraging as Singapore is more accessible to us.”

The exhibition will feature machinery across 19 product sectors, representing the complete textile manufacturing value chain.

ITMA Services, the organiser of the event, has indicated that early bird visitor badge registration is open until 28 September.

Project director Sylvia Phua said: “Visitors planning to attend the exhibition have a few days left to secure their badges at 50% off regular rates. Those who require a visa can submit their application supported by our invitation letter to the nearest Singapore Overseas Mission or through its authorised visa agent.

“Participants will find that Singapore offers exceptional value for industry professionals beyond business: a short stay can be both productive and cost-effective. Visitors can enjoy the island’s exciting tourist hotspots and renowned food scene — from affordable hawker fare to Michelin-starred dining — making their visit a delightful cultural experience for every budget.”
