The Guangzhou International Seamless Garment Industry Technology Exhibition (ITCPE) has seen a surge in demand for seamless clothing, directly stimulating the development of the domestic and international seamless knitting apparel industry. The exhibition aims to serve as a platform for industry display and technical exchange.

Traditional garment manufacturing involves sewing pieces together, which can affect the comfort and aesthetics of knitted garments, especially those that are form-fitting or body-hugging. To address the discomfort and aesthetic issues caused by sewing processes in such garments (which were initially mainly underwear), seamless knitting technology emerged.

The trend towards outerwear in the seamless clothing market is the future direction of the textile and apparel industry, with product varieties expanding from basic undergarments to sportswear (such as beachwear, specialized sports wear, outdoor travel wear, etc.), leisure wear (such as home wear, pajamas, etc.), fashion wear (youth wear, urban wear, etc.), medical and health dedicated wear, and more. The seamless clothing industry has become a huge market within the textile and apparel sector.

China, as the world's largest market for underwear, had a penetration rate of seamless underwear at 25% by 2023, significantly higher than the global average. Benefiting from the growing consumer demand for comfort, functionality, and personalization, the seamless underwear market is expected to expand at an annual rate of 12.3%. An increasing number of Chinese enterprises are engaged in the production of seamless knitted products, making the domestic market for seamless clothing highly promising for both domestic sales and foreign trade processing.

The Guangzhou International Seamless Garment Industry Technology Exhibition (ITCPE) is held concurrently with the Guangzhou International Textile, Apparel & Printing Industry Exhibition. ITCPE has become an essential channel for overseas printing companies to explore the market, aiming to build a reputation as a 'better exhibition with more professional visitors, larger exhibitor scale, and better exhibiting results'.
