A press conference in this con-
nection was held on September 26
in Barcelona. Mr. Andreas Weber,
World President of the Textile Insti-
tute, UK, and Il. Lustrissim Senyor
Jordi Marti-Galbi, Councillor of
Presidence, Barcelona City Coun-
cil, graced the evening as guests of
honour. Industry delegations from
across the globe also attended the
“Rendezvous with India ITME
2012”.
It is well known that the primary
textile machinery market worldwide
which was affected by the global
economic crisis witnessed severe
downturn from 2008. However, the
growth of the Asian textile industry
provided the much-needed fllip to
the Western textile machinery man-
ufacturers for revival of their busi-
ness. It is expected that, driven by
the demand for non-woven textile
products, specially from Chinese
and Indian economies, the global
market for textile machinery will
reach $20.15 billion by 2015.
Being the second largest textile
market in the world, India is expect-
ed to be a leading textile producing
country in the world by 2020. The
strength of the Indian textile indus-
try is very apparent from the robust
attendance by the Indian delegation
in all international textile machinery
shows like ITMA Europe, ITMA
Asia + CITME, China, ATMA USA
and ITM, Turkey. For most of the
Mr. R.S. Bachkaniwala,
Chairman, India-ITME Society
India ITME 2012, the
ninth in the series and
the most prestigious
textile machinery show
in India and neighbouring
countries, is scheduled
to be held during Decem-
ber 2-7, 2012, at the
Bombay Convention &
Exhibition Centre.
