China International Textile Machinery Exhibition and ITMA Asia Exhibition has always insisted on guiding technological trends and innovation, displaying the most cutting-edge intelligent manufacturing new products and new applications, providing opportunities for global textile machinery manufacturers, and helping China transforms from a major textile manufacturing country to a powerful textile manufacturing country.

At present, the relevant preparatory work for ITMA ASIA + CITME 2020 is proceeding orderly, and the booth allocation has been basically completed. From the perspective of the types of companies that signed up for the exhibition, companies in the fields of dyeing and finishing, printing and non-woven equipment have performed well, which meets the needs of the transformation of the textile industry in China and Asia. In addition, the automation control, software system integration, information, logistics and other product technologies related to the intelligentization of the textile industry have been closely integrated with the textile machine mainframe and textile technology, which will bring more system solutions to the industry and help the industry chain Continuous improvement of competitiveness.

The research and innovation zone that started last year will have more colleges and universities participating this year, and the display of many new technological achievements will enhance the innovative service capabilities of equipment and technology to a greater extent. It is worth noting that the scale and strength of non-woven equipment exhibition have increased significantly, which also reflects the changing direction of market demand.

This year’s epidemic has driven a huge demand for personal protective equipment such as disinfection wipes. At the same time, the market’s consumption philosophy and economic development structure are undergoing tremendous changes. The non-woven industry and industrial textiles are seizing opportunities to continuously improve product supply and accelerate Expand the application space in medical and health, health care, geotechnical construction, agriculture, filtration, automobile and other fields.

In the first three quarters of 2020, the industrial industry performed brilliantly. The operating income and total profits of enterprises above designated size were 232.303 billion yuan and 28.568 billion yuan respectively, a year-on-year increase of 32.95% and 240.07% respectively. The profit margin is enviable. In addition, the number of melt blown production lines in China has increased from 200 in 2019 to 5,000 in 2020, and the production capacity of melt blown woven fabrics has increased from 100,000 tons in 2019 to 2 million tons in 2020. The vitality of the non-woven machinery industry was further stimulated during the epidemic.

During the epidemic, non-woven fabric equipment companies worked hard and achieved fruitful results. The Yizheng chemical fiber melt blown cloth project jointly built by Sinopec and Sinomach Hengtian involves 22 types of equipment. Except for the urgently purchased 1 imported fan, the core equipment melt blown head to ordinary bolts and accessories are all urgently manufactured in China. The localization rate is over 95%. China Textile Science and Technology Co., Ltd. and Hongda Research Institute Co., Ltd. undertook the “New High-speed Spunmelt Composite Nonwoven Production Line and Process Technology” project through the appraisal of scientific and technological achievements, and the overall technology reached the international advanced level.

Fast-growing non-woven equipment manufacturers have a deeper understanding of consumer demands and their own shortcomings in the test of the epidemic, and they have also gained insights into equipment stability, automation, continuity, informatization, and intelligence. More experience, especially in the intelligent full-process production, digital monitoring and control system, and nonwoven quality online monitoring and inspection system based on machine vision are actively exploring and trying. In 2021, the market for personal protection and hygiene products is expected to continue to grow. At the same time, the Internet and a variety of new marketing channels are rising rapidly, and various new technologies and applications are booming, and the global nonwovens market will remain hot.

Driven by such strong market demand, as an important exhibition and display platform for the global textile machinery field in the post-epidemic era, the highly anticipated 2020 China International Textile Machinery Exhibition and ITMA Asia will be held on June 12-16, 2021. Hosted by the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai). The organizer stated that this joint textile machinery exhibition is a global exhibition of textile machinery in the post-epidemic period. It will bring together innovative ideas and industrial application technologies from the global industry to build a good platform for communication and docking for users in the upstream and downstream of the entire textile industry chain. While feeling the enthusiasm of the market, the two parties will work together to explore new positioning in the industry and find a new direction for transformation.
