Outlook for 2026 Textile Machinery Exhibition: Innovative Achievements of Knitting Equipment Appear Concentrated

The 2026 China International Textile Machinery Exhibition, which will be held in Shanghai in November, has become a benchmark for global knitting technology innovation. This exhibition focuses on "intelligence, greenness, and integration", and will showcase multiple cutting-edge technologies and breakthrough products in the field of knitting circular machines.
High speed and precision have become the core focus. Multiple high-speed single-sided/double-sided circular knitting machines will be demonstrated on site, with weaving speeds increased by more than 30% compared to traditional models, while maintaining ultra-low vibration and high-precision weaving. The production capacity of fine gauge and high-density fabrics will be greatly enhanced. The computerized needle selection jacquard machine realizes one click weaving of complex patterns, reducing the time for pattern switching to minutes, and adapting to the flexible production needs of small batches and multiple varieties.
Green and low-carbon technologies have attracted much attention. Innovations such as energy-saving drive systems, intelligent energy management modules, and the application of recyclable materials are helping textile enterprises reduce carbon emissions. Upgrading safety design has become a trend, with comprehensive optimization of functions such as fully enclosed protection, intelligent warning, and emergency shutdown, in line with strict global safety standards. During the exhibition, a technical forum will also be held to explore the development direction of knitting equipment during the 15th Five Year Plan period and promote collaborative innovation in the industry chain.
