Asia's Leading Business Platform for Textile Machinery
Established in 2008, the ITMA ASIA + CITME has become the leading textile machinery exhibition that brings together the strengths of the world-renowned ITMA brand and CITME - China's most important textile event.
ITMA ASIA + CITME 2024 will serve as the leading-edge business platform in Asia for textile machinery manufacturers to connect with the region’s markets seeking advanced manufacturing technologies.
The last ITMA ASIA + CITME concluded on 23rd November 2023 at the National Exhibition and Convention Centre (NECC) in Shanghai and attracted strong participation from textile professionals.
The regular biennial sequence of ITMA Asia + CITME was disrupted due to the pandemic. Originally planed for 2022, the exhibition had to be rescheduled to 2023. Holding the event in 2024 resets the synchronisation.
The 8th exhibition welcomed 100,000 visitors from 105 countries and regions. Local Chinese visitors from 31 provinces and cities formed the largest group of visitors.
Visitors from outside China's mainland accounted for over 13%. There was a significantly higher number of overseas delegations, including more than a dozen large buyer groups, compared with previous editions.
