Uzbekistan, the world’s 6th largest cotton-producing country, is gradually emerging as a prime investment destination in the textile and garment industry, thanks to its abundant cotton output, low energy costs, and policy support. The country produces 8,000 tons of high-end 30-count knitting yarn annually, with its products sold to numerous destinations worldwide—attracting the attention of a large number of domestic and foreign investors.

With the deepening cooperation under the "Belt and Road" Initiative, the textile and garment industry in Uzbekistan has been developing vigorously. The country is home to over 3,500 textile enterprises and more than 4,700 garment enterprises, most of which are private-owned. Its industrial chain covers the entire process from yarn spinning, fabric weaving, dyeing and printing to finished garment production, with products exported to markets in Central Asia, the Middle East, Europe and North America. Large-scale enterprises boast a complete industrial chain, and some of them have a monthly output of dyed fabrics reaching up to 150 tons—fully demonstrating the industry’s strong strength.

Recently, Allallinfo Media Group traveled to Uzbekistan to conduct in-depth exchanges with local textile and garment enterprises. During interactions, we learned that while Uzbekistan’s textile and garment industry has achieved remarkable progress in recent years, it still lags behind China in terms of intelligence, automation, and digitalization. Upon learning that the 2026(21st) Guangzhou International Textile, Clothing and Printing Industry Expo (hereinafter referred to as "2026 ITCPE Guangzhou") will gather high-end industrial equipment, environmentally friendly materials, and advanced technologies, local enterprises expressed strong interest and eager anticipation.

2026 ITCPE Guangzhou is an international industry grand event integrating technology exhibition, business matching, trend release, and industrial cooperation. With an exhibition area of over 60,000 square meters, this expo is expected to gather more than 1,000 high-quality exhibitors and attract over 60,000 professional visitors. Such a large scale and abundant resources undoubtedly provide an excellent platform for Uzbekistan's textile and garment enterprises to learn, communicate, and cooperate.

Event Time & Venue

Time: May 19-21, 2026

Venue: Poly World Trade Center Expo, Pazhou, Guangzhou

High-Quality Enterprises Gather: 2026 ITCPE Guangzhou will bring together high-quality enterprises from the global garment, printing, sewing, embroidery, dyeing & printing, seamless garment, and fabric & accessory sectors. These enterprises will showcase the latest and most advanced full-chain equipment, materials, and technologies, providing a one-stop procurement platform for garment manufacturers to help them upgrade, transform, and improve production efficiency.

Advanced Technology Exchange and Interaction: During the expo, a series of industry forums and technical seminars will be held. Well-known experts, scholars and enterprise representatives at home and abroad will be invited to gather together to share the latest research results, technical trends and market dynamics in the garment industry, providing valuable exchange and learning opportunities for peers in the garment sector.

Precise International Business Matching: To promote in-depth cooperation and exchange between domestic and foreign textile and garment enterprises, 2026 ITCPE Guangzhou will carefully organize a number of business matching sessions. These sessions will build an efficient and convenient business platform for exhibitors and buyers, helping enterprises expand into the international market and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

Faced with such rich expo content and boundless cooperation opportunities, textile and garment enterprises in Uzbekistan have all expressed that they are eagerly looking forward to visiting 2026 ITCPE Guangzhou. Through this visit, they aim to purchase new equipment, introduce new technologies, and expand into new markets, so as to enhance the productivity and competitiveness of their own enterprises.

Notably, the Uzbekistan government is actively promoting the development of the textile and garment industry. It plans to establish a specialized free economic zone for textile and garment manufacturing, inviting enterprises across the entire industrial chain—including those engaged in fiber production, yarn spinning, knitted fabric manufacturing, dyeing and finishing, fabric and accessory supply, component production, and garment manufacturing—to settle in the zone, while offering more policy incentives. This initiative will undoubtedly inject new vitality into Uzbekistan’s textile and garment industry and also provide broader cooperation space for Chinese textile and garment enterprises.

2026 ITCPE Guangzhou is not only a trading platform, but also a catalyst for industrial transformation. As a grand event in the garment industry, it will join hands with global garment elites to jointly explore a new chapter in the industry's development. This expo will bring valuable opportunities for Uzbekistan's textile and garment enterprises to enhance their own strength and expand into the international market, and also build a bridge for cooperation between China and Uzbekistan in the textile and garment field.

We sincerely invite our colleagues from the textile and garment industry in Uzbekistan and around the world to join this grand event and explore the new future of the garment industry together! We believe that with the joint efforts of all parties, 2026 ITCPE Guangzhou will achieve a complete success and make positive contributions to the development of the global textile and garment industry.
