The Indonesian Textile Association (API) and several other associations will hold a three-day textile exhibition, Inatex and Indo Intertex 2023, from 29-31 March 2023 at the Jakarta International Expo.
This event will showcase the latest technological products and innovations from textile and garment machinery, raw materials, digital printing machines, textile chemistry, accessories, and other textile products.
The exhibition is expected to attract more than 12,000 visitors from businessmen and professionals. It will also feature an online platform technology that will connect exhibitors with visitors with the Texmatch application, which allows them to interact directly, before and after the event while opening up new opportunities.
During the exhibition, there will be informative and educational sessions on the latest trends and technologies in the textile and garment industry, including a Fashion Preneur Workshop and seminars regarding the development of the National TPT Industry.
The event aims to increase the insights of TPT businesspeople regarding digitalization and networking and to shape future trends to make the Indonesian TPT industry a trend leader that stimulates the economy and enhances Indonesia's image in the eyes of the international community.
Indonesia's textile and textile product (TPT) industry is facing tough competition from China and imported second-hand clothes or thrifting. However, despite challenges, investment in the TPT industry grew positively in the third quarter of 2022. The apparel industry saw an increase of 142 percent in investment value from the previous year.
Indonesian’s government is determined to make Indonesia one of the world's top five textile manufacturers by 2030 by implementing various programs, including the import substitution program and the annual restructuring of machinery and equipment.
The government also aims to ease the process of obtaining raw materials and reduce the cost of natural gas in the production process. Additionally, investment expansion is a major concern.
