The 10th edition of Techtextil India returns Nov. 19–21, 2025, at Bombay Exhibition Centre, with over 215 exhibitors, a new Sporttech Pavilion for performance textiles, a ReCycle Zone for circular innovation, and the Asia debut of the Dornbirn Global Fiber Congress.
What’s new this year
Techtextil India 2025 introduces a Sporttech Pavilion, developed in partnership with Concept N Strategies, which will bring together the latest fabrics, yarns, and accessories tailored for sportswear and activewear. The pavilion will spotlight high-performance, breathable, and sustainable materials – positioning itself as a key destination for brands seeking innovation in technical textiles for the sports and active lifestyle sectors.
Alongside this, the new ReCycle Zone, created in collaboration with the Society of Plastics Engineers India (SPE India), will unite recyclers, machinery manufacturers, recyclate innovators, and circular-supply startups under one roof. The zone will focus on fibre-to-fibre recycling, PET waste solutions, sorting technologies, and traceability systems – offering a practical look at how the textile industry is addressing circularity at scale.
Finally, Techtextil India will host the Asia debut of the Dornbirn Global Fiber Congress on Nov. 18, organized in partnership with the Austrian Fibers Institute. The congress will bring together global thought leaders to explore advanced fiber science, bio-based materials, and sustainable innovations that are shaping the future of performance textiles worldwide.
More than ever, the event is highly relevant for the sporting goods industry.
Innovation meets sustainability: The ReCycle Zone underscores growing demand in the sportswear and performance segments for truly circular solutions. Brands seeking recycled yarns, low-impact materials, or scalable recycling tech should pay attention.
R&D showcase for activewear: The Sporttech Pavilion gives textile innovators a B2B platform to connect directly with brands and R&D teams looking for next-gen performance materials – think moisture-wicking, compression, and eco-performance fabrics.
Thought leadership in fibers: With the Dornbirn Congress, global thought leaders will converge in India to explore advanced fiber science, pushing sustainability, bio-based fibers, and high-performance solutions that can feed into global sports textile supply chains.
India emerges as global powerhouse in textile innovation
According to Messe Frankfurt, the country’s technical textile exports are rising – making platforms like Techtextil India crucial to align industry innovation with government ambitions. For sporting-goods brands, particularly those that already source or develop in India, participating or tracking this show offers a window into the future of material innovation and circular design.
