Techtextil India 2025 to pioneer innovation and sustainability in technical textiles
Techtextil India 2025 will spotlight innovations across various domains, including man-made fibres, non-woven textiles, functional textiles, and high-performance apparel.
Techtextil India 2025, the premier platform for the technical textiles industry in the country, is gearing up to redefine benchmarks with its milestone 10th edition. Scheduled to take place from 19-21 November, 2025, at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, this event promises to showcase the latest advancements and innovations shaping the future of technical textiles. Adding to its significance, a day prior to the main exhibition, the Dornbirn Global Fiber Conference (GFC) Asia will be hosted under the Techtextil India Symposium on November 18, 2025.
This strategic collaboration with the Austrian Fibers Institute marks a momentous occasion as the globally recognised Asia edition of Dornbirn GFC debuts in India. The conference presents an exceptional opportunity for professionals across the technical textiles value chain to explore cutting-edge developments in fibre technology, sustainable materials, and pioneering applications.
Themed “Shaping the Future: Sustainable Growth in Fibre Solutions and Innovations,” the Dornbirn GFC Asia – India Conference will bring together globally acclaimed researchers, thought leaders, and manufacturers. Participants will delve into advanced topics such as spinning technology and innovative fibre solutions. Alongside this, Techtextil India 2025 will spotlight innovations across various domains, including man-made fibres, non-woven textiles, functional textiles, and high-performance apparel. Specialised pavilions, such as Meditex, will focus on medical textiles, showcasing how the sector is addressing the growing demand for sustainable, high-performance materials across industries like healthcare, automotive, construction, and sports.
With the event already sold out, industry leaders such as Reliance Industries, Aditya Birla Yarns, JB Ecotex, and Ganesha Ecosphere are set to exhibit their latest innovations. This reflects the dynamic growth of India’s technical textiles industry, which is supported by transformative government initiatives like the National Technical Textiles Mission (NTTM) and the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS). These programs aim to enhance innovation, promote sustainability, and attract foreign investments, contributing to the ambitious goal of achieving a $40 billion market size and $10 billion in exports by 2030.
Sustainability and circularity are at the heart of the industry’s evolution. Practices such as reuse, repair, refurbishing, and recycling are becoming integral to manufacturing processes, signalling a shift toward more environmentally responsible production. This focus on sustainability is not limited to products but extends to creating educational initiatives and skill development programs that equip professionals with specialised expertise in areas like medical textiles, geotextiles, and mobile textiles.
The Indian government’s proactive approach to fostering innovation is driving the technical textiles industry to new heights. Through initiatives like the NTTM, the industry has seen significant investments aimed at research and development, facilitating the adoption of sustainable practices and advanced technologies. This, coupled with increasing global demand for technical textiles, is solidifying India’s position as a leading player in the global market.
The collaborative effort between Techtextil India and Dornbirn GFC Asia underscores India’s emergence as a hub for technical textile innovation. By facilitating cross-border knowledge exchange, the event is expected to drive meaningful discussions on emerging trends, sustainability, and innovative applications. It serves as a platform for stakeholders to explore business opportunities, forge partnerships, and gain insights into the future trajectory of the industry.
As the countdown to November 2025 begins, anticipation is high for an event that promises to be a turning point for the Indian technical textiles sector. Techtextil India 2025, in partnership with the Dornbirn GFC Asia, will not only showcase the industry’s progress but also set the stage for its future growth, reflecting a commitment to sustainability, innovation, and global leadership.
