EGYPT STITCH & TEX Is Preparing to Bring the Textile Sector Together for the 19th Time
The 19th International Exhibition for Textile & Carpet Machineries, Printing Technologies, and Accessories known as EGYPT STITCH & TEX is expected to attract thousands of industry leaders, manufacturers, and innovators worldwide. The event, taking place from February 20-23, 2025, at the Cairo International Convention & Exhibition Centre, is designed to facilitate engagement with key players from Egypt, the MENA region, Africa, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
Egypt’s textile industry is experiencing a rapid transformation, becoming a key contributor to the country’s economic growth. The sector accounts for 12% of the nation’s export earnings and is a vital pillar of Egypt’s economy. With more than 85,000 textile establishments and the largest cotton and textile clusters on the African continent, Egypt’s textile sector employs 2.5 million people and contributes 3.4% to the national GDP.
Investment In The World’s Largest Textile Facility With A Daily Production Capacity Of 30 Tons.
As part of its strategic vision to become a regional textile hub, Egypt is heavily investing in modernizing its infrastructure, launching new factories, and expanding its production capabilities. A landmark initiative is establishing the world’s largest textile facility in El-Mahalla, which will have a daily production capacity of 30 tons. These developments make Egypt a crucial player in the global textile market.
EGYPT STITCH & TEX will provide exhibitors with a unique opportunity to showcase cutting-edge technologies in textile and carpet machinery, printing technologies, dyeing and finishing equipment, and digital printing systems. It is an essential platform for companies looking to connect with buyers, form strategic partnerships, and tap into lucrative export markets.
A Growth Rate Of 6.4% Is Expected.
Egypt’s textile processing machinery market is projected to grow at an annual rate of 6.4% over the next three years, making this event an ideal space for exhibitors to position their products and services at the forefront of this growth. Key sectors to be featured at the exhibition include textile processing machinery, printing machinery, auxiliaries, chemicals, and more.
Thanks to several trade agreements, Egyptian textile products are in a prime position to reach hundreds of millions of consumers worldwide. These include the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Turkey, the QIZ Protocol with the U.S., and the Association Agreement with the European Union. Egypt’s participation in regional trade agreements like COMESA, EFTA, and MERCOSUR further strengthens its global standing as a leading textile producer.
In conjunction with the exhibition, Cairo Textile Week (CTW 2025) will offer a platform for knowledge sharing and professional networking. CTW 2025 will spotlight recent innovations in textile manufacturing and introduce the latest fabric developments for manufacturers and creatives. The accompanying ITEX Cairo 2025 will focus on the role of digital printing technologies in sportswear and activewear, a booming market sector projected to reach $455 billion globally by 2025.
The exhibition will allow Exhibitors to explore Egypt’s rapidly expanding textile industry and capitalize on new business ventures. This landmark event will serve as a gateway to the dynamic and fast-growing textile markets of Egypt, MENA, Africa, and the GCC regions.
