About ITMA Asia + CITME
ITMA Asia + CITME (Singapore edition) is the Asian arm of the world-leading ITMA brand — the world's largest and most important textile and garment machinery exhibition. Held in Singapore in 2025 and rotating between Singapore and Shanghai biennially, ITMA Asia is the most important regional textile-machinery sourcing event for South and Southeast Asian textile businesses.
ITMA Asia + CITME Singapore 2025 was held from 28 to 31 October 2025 at Singapore Expo. Over 1,600 exhibitors from 30+ countries participated, drawing more than 100,000 trade visitors from across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe. The 2026 ITMA Asia edition returns to Shanghai.
Coverage spans the entire textile and garment-making value chain — spinning, weaving, knitting, dyeing, printing, finishing, garment-making, technical textiles, embroidery, nonwovens, recycling and circular textile technology. For Indian textile and garment manufacturers — one of the world's largest textile industries — ITMA Asia is the year's most efficient international machinery-sourcing trip.
More Than Travel's ITMA Asia package includes Singapore e-visa, return flights from Delhi (Mumbai available for groups), 4★ hotel in central Singapore with included Expo transfers, fair badge, English-speaking guide and India helpline. Optional Sentosa Island or Universal Studios extension.
