Asia’s leading laundry and textile care trade fair Texcare Asia & China Laundry Expo will be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre from August 2-4, 2024. Over 250 exhibitors from 15 countries and regions have registered. Key industry players will demonstrate new products and technologies across sub-sectors including textile laundry, leather care, cleaning machinery and supplies and more. With innovations, networking opportunities, and expert insights, visitors and exhibitors will benefit from the one-stop platform uniting the entire textile care supply chain.
In the Chinese textile care industry, valued at around USD 22.7 billion, the annual show has established itself as the benchmark for buyers in multiple related sectors. These include laundry factories, dry cleaners, hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, leather care shops and schools. Last year’s show attracted 27,247 visitors, including 10% international buyers and 2024’s strong visitor flow has ensured a comprehensive range of products and services onsite, including washing equipment to chemicals, accessories, rental services and intelligent products.
The fair welcomes new exhibitors – AiQi, Changjian, Devotion Boiler, Haishihua, Huayuan, Keling, Kiosoft, Kuaijie, Ruiying, SEKO, VANCH, Wanzl, Xingcheng, Yaojiang, Zhonglan, among others.
The number of registered exhibitors in the rental sector has reached a new high, demonstrating the growing prominence of rental services. Exhibitors include Datamars, Finove, Huayuan, KAGA FEI, Kiosoft, NIUZHANGGUI, PORRAY, SENPU XUNJIE, Spotag, Tengyu Weaving, Thermopatch, and YALAN. As the industry undergoes digital transformation, rental service is steadily emerging as a new market trend. Digital technology is expected to drive even faster growth in the future market, and provide consumers with higher-quality and more convenient laundry services.
“This show provides us with a platform full of opportunities and strengthened cooperation amongst industry players,” said Liyi Lyu, Chairman of Shanghai Weishi Machinery. “With a strong focus on international business, we will participate again in 2024, looking forward to meeting old and new worldwide friends. We strive to grow and strengthen our brand on the international stage.”
The upcoming fair has garnered widespread support from both domestic and international industry associations including more than 100 institutions and organizations from 13 countries and regions, including Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, and Singapore.
Covering multiple fields such as digital innovation in the laundry and dyeing industry, smart construction of hospital logistics, and shoes and clothing care, the show’s fringe programme aims to facilitate learning and discussions, and drive technological progress and industry development.
