Messe Frankfurt Optimistic On Response To Their India-End Of Techtextil And Texprocess Exhibitions

Techtextil and Texprocess 2017, parallel exhibitions that are to run in India, Russia and Ethiopia later this year have already had dream run in January this year in Germany. The exhibitions have a world view to promote technical textiles of the future generations with an eye on smart textiles as a growing prospect.

Messe Frankfurt the main organizers behind these exhibitions, is a global leader with 50 events in 10 countries. In 2016, they globally organized the presence of 19,500 exhibitors and a footfall of 477,000 visitors.

Techtextil is focusing on the future of technical textiles with a vision to encompass the growing population, combat climate change, employ recycling of waste, and use existing resources wisely. “Even as we gear ourselves for these challenges, plenty of questions are thrown up like, how can we feed the growing population?; As people grow older what will be their needs?; How will future mobility look like?; and What are the needs for our homes?” explained the Techtextil spokesperson.

She emphasized that the technical textile market will continue to grow accompanied by a changing textile industry.” Demand from users of technical textiles is also growing at a robust pace. There is demand not only for existing products but also new inventions and innovations that are set to flood the market,” she elaborated.

When asked to name the market drivers for technical textiles, she said, “Global population growth, replacement of conventional building materials, rising housing expenditure, increasing complexity of industrial production, expansion of health care, growth in vehicle production, growth in expenditure on sport and leisure products and permanent opening up of new areas of application account for the overall drive in the market forces.”

The parallel exhibition Texprocess 2017 envisages the inclusion of cutting-edge technologies for design, cutting, IT, sewing, joining, embroidery, textile dressing, finishing and logistics. The new entrants in the list of realms handled by Texprocess 2017 include concentration of bonding and separating, CMT (cutting, making, trimming), CAD/CAM and printing.

Michael Janecke, Director Brand Management Technical Textiles and Textile Processing, said that he was optimistic about the response to the exhibition slated for India. In Frankfurt we had a tremendous response and it was a total sellout. “We expect to bring new technology and a new platform of clients to Indian technical textile industry,” he added.
