Techtextil India is being held in Mumbai, September 8 to 9, 2016. This is an event for technical textile and nonwoven sectors. Several editions of the event have been held over the past years in Frankfurt, India, Middle East and Russia.

Six specialized tracks ranging from emerging new technologies for advanced technical textiles to future prospects of the technical textile industry; the growing market for active wear/performance wear; the medtech and hygiene sectors; and high performance applications of nonwovens as well as the growing sectors of protech and composites will be covered over the two-days.

Techtextil India’s business-oriented approach will prove highly valuable for machinery and end product manufacturers, raw material and fabric suppliers, and textile industry players. The show will represent the entire cross section and stakeholders of the industry at a common platform as they look to share their knowledge about global trends and developments, market potential, opportunities and future prospects in the Indian technical textiles industry.

Over the last couple of years, India has been growing at a steady pace in the technical textile field, with perceptible signs of growth being observed in a few specialised fields. The market size is projected to be Rs1.58 lakh crores for 2016-17, with a growth rate of 20 per cent during the 12th Five Year plan.
