BioTex Fashion Summit & Expo 2026
The document presents an overview of the global textile and fashion industry at a time of structural transformation driven by sustainability, technology, and circularity. Valued at over USD 1.2 trillion for textiles and USD 1.7–1.9 trillion for fashion in 2025, the industry is shifting from volume-led growth toward value, resilience, and responsibility. Asia-Pacific remains the manufacturing hub, while global supply chains are increasingly regionalising to enhance stability.
Sustainable and circular fashion has emerged as a core business imperative rather than a niche trend, addressing environmental impact, ethical labour practices, and long-term viability. Growth through 2030 is expected to be steady (4–5% CAGR), led by emerging markets, bio-based materials, digital-first models, and circular systems such as recycling, resale, and reuse.
