Registration is now open for the 29th edition of TITAS, the Taipei Innovative Textile Application Show. Following on from a successful event in 2024, the region’s leading tradeshow for functional fabric applications and high-performance textiles will once again be held at Taiwan’s Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1 from 14-16 October 2025.
This edition will continue the industry spotlight on Innovation and Sustainability – two key drivers of development for the industry. As such, TITAS will showcase the global textile industry’s advancements in textile innovation and research and will explore three key themes: Sustainability, Functional Applications and Intelligent Manufacturing.
– Sustainability
TITAS 2025, as it has done for many years, will focus on sustainable materials and sustainable manufacturing materials to reduce waste, cut carbon emissions and use low-impact manufacturing processes.
The focus on sustainability is more prevalent now than it ever has been, as climate change and industrial pollution continues to ravage the planet. A more climate-consumer base, and increasingly strict regulations are driving the industry towards greener purchasing decisions and TITAS is a bedrock for such buying expeditions.
– Functional applications
Taiwan has been an anchor for functional and technical textiles for over 20 years. Display textiles with several uses for sporting and industrial applications will take centre stage, as well as functional fabrics for sports and outdoor wear, workwear and apparel. Sustainable solutions to functional applications are of high importance here and many TITAS exhibitors will be showcased recycled and recyclable materials, as well as innovative bio-based products.
– Intelligent manufacturing
To achieve a more sustainable and transparent supply chain, which is of paramount importance in this manufacturing landscape, digitalisation is key. Exhibitors at TITAS boast technologies that can enable visitors to build a resilient supply chain by implementing cutting-edge automation systems & solutions to achieve lean manufacturing.
Lean manufacturing is vital not just for eco-credentials, but for economic growth and increasing margins in an industry that has faced many economic challenges of late.
Justin Huang, President of the Taiwan Textile Federation, organisers of TITAS, says: “TITAS’ focus on innovation, sustainability and intelligent manufacturing emphasises the direction we need to move in to positively propel the industry forward. Working together with international partners, Taiwanese companies and TITAS itself can be pivotal in providing a better future for the industry, consumers and the planet.”
Boosting success from 2024
In 2025, over 400 exhibitors from across the globe are expected to showcase their innovations and booth numbers are set to exceed 1,000. With a rich and diversified range of exhibits, TITAS will be sure to meet buyer’s one-stop purchasing expectations. This will mark an increase on last year’s successful exhibitor numbers of almost 400.
The 2024 edition saw almost 31,500 visitors from around the world, with the highest numbers coming from Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, China, the US, Vietnam, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Germany, and the Philippines. Like visitor numbers, the 2025 edition is set to see this figure increase, with a current estimate of 35,000 visitors expected to walk the halls. TITAS is therefore a vital platform for networking and expansion across the textile and apparel supply chain.
Comprehensive exhibit range
Key exhibits driving these impressive visitor numbers include: fibres (including recycled, bio-based and technical fibres), filaments, yarns, fabric (functional fabrics, fashion fabrics), apparel (ready to wear and sweater apparel as well as functional apparel), accessories, trims, dyestuffs and auxiliaries, sewing equipment, textile machinery, textile-related technology and services (including software). Although functional textiles & apparel forms a significant part of the tradeshow’s offering, industrial textiles, nonwovens, upholstery and home textiles are also well represented.
