Gartex Texprocess India is gearing up for its 13th edition, scheduled from 21st to 23rd August 2025 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, across Halls 2, 3, and 4. Organised by MEX Exhibitions Pvt Ltd. and Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India Pvt Ltd., the event will introduce two new verticals—the LeatherX Pavilion and the Textile Care Forum—expanding its scope beyond garment and textile machinery to encompass leather processing, tanning, footwear, and sustainable laundry solutions.
This year’s edition is set to host over 200 exhibitors and more than 600 brands, with 35% of them participating for the first time. Spread across 1,50,000+ sq ft, the exhibition will also include The Denim Show (in collaboration with the Denim Manufacturers Association), the Fabrics and Trims Show, and Screen Print India – Textile and LeatherX Pavilion.
The Textile Care Forum, held in association with the Drycleaners and Launderers Association of India, will be a key highlight on 22nd August. It will explore how washing and finishing processes impact a garment’s lifecycle and environmental footprint while addressing EPR guidelines, sustainable laundry practices, and green chemistry solutions. Meanwhile, the LeatherX Pavilion will bring together stakeholders from leather goods, fashion accessories, and footwear industries, opening new avenues for collaboration and integration.
Speaking about the growth of the show, Mr Raj Manek, Executive Director & Board Member, Messe Frankfurt Asia Holdings Ltd., stated:
“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 last decade, Gartex Texprocess India has grown from a garment machinery-focused exhibition into a holistic sourcing platform covering knitting, embroidery, digital printing, trims, accessories, sewing technologies, and software and e-commerce enablers.
Ms Himani Gulati and Mr Gaurav Juneja, Directors of MEX Exhibitions Pvt Ltd., added:
“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.”
India continues to dominate as one of the largest producers of denim fabric, with a manufacturing capacity of 1,600 million meters annually. According to the Denim Show, the Indian denim jeans market generated USD 2,433.5 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8% to reach USD 3,859.5 million by 2030. The co-located Denim Show at Gartex Texprocess India will further enable networking and business generation for denim stakeholders.
The upcoming edition is positioned as a transformative event, offering a 360-degree industry view—from raw materials and production technologies to aftercare, sustainability, and finished goods—solidifying India’s place on the global textile and apparel stage.
