The 13th edition of Gartex Texprocess India Expo is gearing up for a landmark showcase at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, from 21st to 23rd August 2025 across Halls 2, 3, and 4. Jointly organised by MEX Exhibitions Pvt Ltd and Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India Pvt Ltd, the expo is set to introduce two significant additions — the LeatherX Pavilion and the Textile Care Forum — widening its scope to engage a broader spectrum of industry stakeholders.
This year’s edition will host over 200 exhibitors and 600+ brands, with international participation from China, Japan, Italy, Germany, and Singapore. Notably, 35% of the exhibitors will be first-time participants, reflecting the event’s growing global relevance. Spread across 1,50,000+ sq. ft., the exhibition will feature popular verticals including The Denim Show (in association with the Denim Manufacturers Association), Fabrics and Trims Show, Screen Print India – Textile, and the debuting LeatherX Pavilion.
The Textile Care Forum, scheduled on day two (22nd August 2025), will focus on sustainable laundry and garment aftercare solutions. Organised in collaboration with the Drycleaners and Launderers Association of India, discussions will revolve around washing and finishing techniques, environmental impact, EPR guidelines, and green chemistry innovations. Meanwhile, the LeatherX Pavilion will bring opportunities for collaboration across leather processing, tanning, accessories, and footwear.
Commenting on the growth of the show, Mr Raj Manek, Executive Director & Board Member, Messe Frankfurt Asia Holdings Ltd., said: “The remarkable growth of India’s textile sector is mirrored in the success of Gartex Texprocess India across both its editions. The show continues to deliver unmatched value for every visitor and exhibitor alike. This year, with the introduction of the Textile Care Forum and LeatherX Pavilion, along with the spotlight on smart automation in the laundry and dry-cleaning industry, we are set to elevate the experience further.”
Over the years, Gartex Texprocess India has expanded beyond garment machinery to embrace knitting, embroidery, digital printing, sewing solutions, trims, and accessories, as well as software and e-commerce innovations.
Highlighting the scale of this edition, Ms Himani Gulati and Mr Gaurav Juneja, Directors of MEX Exhibitions Pvt Ltd, shared: “With over 200 exhibitors and about 600 brands, this edition of Gartex Texprocess India is set to be one of the most impactful to date. In the last five years, the show has grown immensely in terms of product categories. Our continued focus on technology-driven solutions, value-added machinery and new features like the Textile Care Forum and LeatherX Pavilion ensures the show remains a complete sourcing and networking destination for the garment and textile industry.”
The Denim Show, co-located with Gartex Texprocess India and organised with the Denim Manufacturers Association (DMA), will once again spotlight India’s denim leadership. With an annual manufacturing capacity of 1,600 million meters, India ranks among the world’s top producers. According to Grand View Research, the Indian denim jeans market stood at USD 2,433.5 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 3,859.5 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8%.
By integrating apparel manufacturing, automation, textile care, and leather innovation under one roof, Gartex Texprocess India 2025 promises a 360-degree perspective of the evolving textile and apparel ecosystem. Together with the Denim Show, the exhibition will not only expand sourcing and networking opportunities but also showcase India’s capabilities on the global stage.
