Guangzhou International Seamless Garment Industry Technology Exhibition (ITCPE)ITCPE

The booming sales of seamless garments have directly stimulated the development of the domestic and international seamless knitwear industry. The exhibition will serve as a comprehensive platform for industry display and technological exchange.

Traditional garment manufacturing involves sewing fabric pieces together, but the thickness and seams can compromise the comfort and aesthetics of knitwear, particularly tight-fitting and body-shaping garments. To address the discomfort and visual disruption caused by conventional sewing techniques for such knitwear (primarily underwear at the time), seamless knitting technology emerged.

The outerwear application of seamless garments represents the future direction of the textile and apparel industry. Product categories have expanded from basic underwear to include sports and outdoor wear (e.g., beachwear, specialized sportswear, outdoor travel gear), casual wear (e.g., loungewear, sleepwear), fashion apparel (e.g., youth wear, urban wear), and specialized medical/healthcare garments. The seamless garment sector has evolved into a massive market within the global textile and apparel industry.

As the world's largest underwear market, China's seamless underwear penetration rate reached 25% in 2023, significantly surpassing the global average. Driven by growing consumer demand for comfort, functionality, and personalization, the seamless underwear market is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. An increasing number of Chinese enterprises are engaged in seamless knitwear production, and both the domestic and export processing markets hold tremendous potential.

The Guangzhou International Seamless Garment Industry Technology Exhibition (ITCPE) is held concurrently with the Guangzhou International Textile, Garment & Printing Industry Exhibition. ITCPE has become a vital channel for domestic and international printing enterprises to expand their markets, building a strong reputation as an exhibition that delivers "more professional visitors, larger exhibitor scale, and superior participation results."
