Techtextil 2015 heading for new exhibitor & space records

With still around eight months to go before Techtextil 2015 – the technical textiles and nonwovens trade show opens its doors, 80 percent of the exhibition space occupied in 2013, has already been booked for the 2015 show, say organisers of the trade show.

Messe Frankfurt, organisers of the trade fair which will run from May 4 to 7, 2015 say that once again, it is heading for new exhibitor and exhibition-space records.

“At present, we have sold ten percent more exhibition space than at the same time two years ago. Thus, given the positive situation in the world market, we expect to have four full exhibition halls at Techtextil 2015, says Detlef Braun, Member of the Executive Board of Messe Frankfurt GmbH.

Messe informs that, Techtextil is growing thanks on one hand, to its regular exhibitors, many of whom want to enlarge their exhibition stands, while on the other hand; almost 15 percent of registrations come from companies returning to the fair or taking part for the first time.

Messe Frankfurt has added a fourth day to the fair, which has been greeted by exhibitors because it leaves them more time for meeting customers, as well as for visiting the concurrent Texprocess trade fair and attending the Techtextil Symposium.

South Korea, a growing market with a great export potential, will be represented by a joint stand for the first time. Belgium, China, France, India, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey and the USA have also confirmed they will be taking part.

According to the Confederation of the German Textile and Fashion Industry (Gesamtverband textil+mode), sales of non-woven products and technical textiles were positive in the first half of 2014.

The Euratex association noted a rise of 4% year-on-year in European production of technical and industrial textiles from January to May 2014. Exports within the EU rose 4%, while exports to non EU-countries went up by 7%, whereas Belgium and Great Britain stood out with double-digit rates of growth.

The economic data from the leading textile nations outside Europe are also positive. The US textile industry reported growth of five percent in 2013 whereby sales of technical textiles are also up.

China continues to expect a double-digit rate of growth in terms of sales and the production of technical textiles because domestic demand for automobiles, medical supplies and infrastructure is rising steadily.

Messe Frankfurt says, thanks to the buoyant export market, the Indian textile industry is also doing extremely well.

Texprocess, a trade fair for processing textile and flexible materials, will also be held concurrently with Techtextil from May 4 to 7, 2015.
