With the Chinese and international laundry industries eager for in-person business, organisers Messe Frankfurt have announced that Texcare Asia & China Laundry Expo (TXCA & CLE) will be held, 25–27 September 2023.
The fair will return to the Shanghai New International Expo Centre in the hope of taking advantage of the country’s gradually easing pandemic restrictions and the market’s steady growth.
Covering around 25,000 qm of floor space, the international textile care show will host an estimated 300 local and overseas exhibitors and 20,000 visitors.
Despite the pandemic, the commercial laundry industry has been performing strongly and the global commercial dry-cleaning and services market was valued at around $72bn in 2021.
Organisers say the pandemic has brought new developments to China's laundry industry, in the direction of industry standardisation, increasing production scale and digitalisation.
As the leading trade fair for the laundry and textile care industry in Asia, TXCA & CLE provides business openings across the supply chain, including machinery, systems and accessories, chemicals and consumables, digital and intelligent solutions, energy saving and environmental protection technologies, leather care products, rental services and more.
Mr Shixin Wu, general manager of Jiangsu Sea-Lion Machinery, said: “We participate at TXCA & CLE every year. The fair helps the industry raise the bar when it comes to technology, and as the range of domestic products is rapidly expanding, we feel the need to increase our exposure by participating at the fair.”
