Intex South Asia Expands 2026 Editions To Bangladesh, Sri Lanka

Intex South Asia has announced its upcoming 2026 editions in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, further strengthening its position as a leading platform for textile sourcing, innovation and global industry collaboration. With 17 successful editions across the region, the show continues to play a pivotal role in connecting international suppliers with South Asia’s rapidly expanding apparel manufacturing ecosystem.

The 2026 editions aim to provide global companies with a gateway to showcase advanced textiles, innovative materials, and sustainable solutions tailored for the evolving needs of the apparel sector. As South Asia emerges as one of the fastest-growing manufacturing hubs, the exhibition offers direct access to factory owners, exporters and key decision-makers investing in modernization and future-ready capabilities.

Key highlights of Intex South Asia 2026 will include the Trendz Zone, Interactive Business Forum, structured B2B meetings, overseas buyer delegations, bilateral interactions and curated side visits. These features are designed to maximise business engagement, knowledge exchange, and networking opportunities for participants.

Speaking on the announcement, Arti Bhagat, Executive Director of Worldex India, said, “Intex South Asia is more than an exhibition, it is a catalyst for transformation. Over 17 successful editions, we have built bridges between global textile suppliers and South Asia’s dynamic apparel industry. In 2026, our focus is on empowering the region with sustainable solutions, advanced technologies and collaborative opportunities that will drive competitiveness and growth on the world stage.”

Backed by South Asia’s strengths in skilled labour, competitive supply chains, and favourable trade agreements, the region continues to gain prominence as a preferred destination for sourcing functional and eco-friendly textiles. The 2026 editions will reflect this momentum, addressing both export-driven demand and rising domestic consumption, while reinforcing South Asia’s role in the global sustainable apparel landscape.

The event is strongly supported by a wide network of industry bodies, including the Sri Lanka Export Development Board, Joint Apparel Association Forum Sri Lanka, Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association, Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association, The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council, Powerloom Development and Export Promotion Council, Manmade and Technical Textiles Export Promotion Council, Federation of Indian Export Organisations, Taiwan Textile Federation, Korea Textile Trade Association, Thailand Textile Institute, Bangladesh-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, U.S Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Latin America Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Asian African Chamber of Commerce and Industry, among others highlighting the show’s credibility and global relevance.
