At Techtextil India 2013, over 130 exhibitors from India, Italy, Japan, Sweden, the UK and the US, in addition to national pavilions from Belgium, China, France and Germany will present the newest products, services and technologies in technical textiles and nonwovens.

Not only has India’s technical textile sector grown at a CAGR of 11 per cent between 2006 and 2011, but it is also estimated to further rise at a CAGR of 20 per cent between 2012 and 2017, making it a very promising sector for investment. Rising income levels, modernisation and urbanisation combined with reduced labour availability in sectors like agriculture and construction have heightened the demand and use of technical textiles and nonwovens across several verticals.
