The global textile machinery market stood at USD 27.8 billion in 2022. It is projected to reach USD 42.2 billion by 2030. Meanwhile, India’s textile machinery industry remains a vital pillar of the national economy. It includes nearly 3,000 manufacturing units. Moreover, the market size is expected to touch USD 2.02 billion by 2033.
At present, the Indian Textile Engineering Industry meets only 60 percent of domestic demand. The domestic market is valued at Rs 25,000 crore. However, capacity utilisation stands at a strong 94 percent. Additionally, exports account for nearly Rs 6,000 crore. In contrast, imports of textile machinery and accessories total around Rs 15,200 crore. The industry now targets Rs 25,000 crore in turnover by 2025.
Looking ahead, India aims to become a global textile powerhouse by 2047. The vision includes USD 600 billion in exports and a USD 1.8 trillion domestic market. Furthermore, the technical textiles segment alone is expected to reach USD 309 billion.
Currently, the textile sector requires 20 MMT of fibre supply. Cotton contributes 7 MMT, while man-made fibres account for 13 MMT. Globally, MMFs hold a 75 percent share in textiles. Therefore, if India wants to lead MMF textiles, rapid growth is essential. Over the next two to four years, the sector must scale to USD 150 billion. This includes USD 95 billion domestically and USD 100 billion in exports.
Today, MMFs form the backbone of the textile value chain. As a result, manufacturers, traders, and machinery providers must adapt quickly. Sustainability, innovation, and compliance will define future leaders. Those who act early will shape India’s textile growth story.
At the same time, rapid technological change drives the industry forward. Consequently, textile machinery development must balance innovation with responsibility. Digitalisation and AI now enable end-to-end tracking. This covers fibre, yarn, fabric, garments, retail, and fashion. Thus, manufacturers and processors can align better with global market needs.
Importantly, the garment sector generates significant employment. It creates 50 jobs per crore invested. In comparison, spinning, weaving, and processing create only eight jobs combined. Therefore, garment-led growth remains critical to India’s 2047 vision. It also strengthens downstream processes and global brand engagement.
To achieve these goals, the Textile Engineering Industry must deliver high-tech machinery. These machines must ensure quality, scale, and competitive pricing. Equally important, durable accessories and spares must support performance. This becomes critical due to higher abrasion from MMFs compared to cotton.
Considering these factors, ITAMMA is organising its 29th Product-cum-Catalogue Show. The event will take place on 31 January 2026 at Ranbanka Heritage Hotel, Bhilwara. It begins at 2 pm and concludes with a networking dinner.
The show will connect user industries with reliable technology partners. It will also help exhibitors understand future customer requirements. Consequently, suppliers can realign manufacturing strategies and product development.
Additionally, the event will showcase the latest textile machines, spares, and accessories. With over 60 exhibitors and 500-plus visitors, the platform promises strong industry engagement.
The event receives support from leading institutions and chambers. Moreover, ITAMMA will sign MoUs with academic partners. Media partners will further amplify industry outreach.
Special sessions will connect academia, industry experts, and government bodies. These discussions will focus on innovation, technology transfer, and market readiness. Another session will spotlight technical textile turnkey projects. Together, these initiatives aim to strengthen Bhilwara’s technical textile ecosystem.
