The Asia Nonwovens Technology Expo (ANTEX Asia) 2024, which will be the largest nonwovens show in Southeast Asia and the ASEAN region, is set to debut from November 13-15, 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand.
ANTAX Asia will show sustainable and emerging technologies and has a goal of attracting over 200 exhibitors and 4,000 attendees from 20 countries, along with five national or regional pavilions.
“The nonwovens market is thriving globally, with Southeast Asia serving as a key driver of growth,” the organisers said in a press release.

By 2030, the region will also be home to 60 percent of the world’s population aged 65 years or older and the total healthcare expenditure in Asia is estimated to exceed $4 trillion by 2024.
The EV market in Southeast Asia is expected to grow rapidly, with an annual growth rate of 5.5 percent till 2028, resulting in a market volume of $1,871 million by 2028.
The Expo is organized by a team of industry professionals with extensive experience inmanaging trade shows.
Among the organisers is Tradelink Co. Ltd, founded by Nao Kozuka, a pioneer in the nonwoven industry who launched the first nonwoven trade show in Asia 35 years ago.
“We are thrilled to launch ANTEX Asia, marking a new era of collaboration and innovation across the nonwovens field,” said Nao Kozuka.
