The trade show’s new dedicated area will showcase sports and activewear textiles and accessories.
Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India and Concept N Strategies have teamed up to introduce the Sporttech Pavilion, a new area for the 2025 edition of Techtextil India to showcase sports and activewear textiles and accessories.

Exhibitors will include: sports textile material producers, sports and fitness equipment manufacturers with an emphasis on textile-based products, accessories and footwear manufacturers, companies presenting new textile technologies in sports footwear, smart textile manufacturers, chemical suppliers for sports textiles, producers of finishing chemicals that enhance performance (e.g., anti-odor, UV protection, water-repellent coatings), manufacturers of fitness textiles and activewear materials, equipment suppliers, and specialists in fabric testing, dyeing and finishing.
