ITMA Asia & CITME 2026, the most influential textile machinery exhibition in Asia, will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai from 20 to 24 November 2026. As the global knitting industry continues to evolve rapidly, this exhibition will showcase the latest technological innovations and future development directions of circular knitting machines.
For Bangladesh knitting mills, understanding these trends 6 months in advance is crucial for planning equipment upgrades, optimizing production processes and maintaining competitive advantage. In this preview, we will break down the top 5 circular knitting technology trends that you should pay attention to, and introduce the corresponding spare parts solutions available from Qattex.
Energy saving has become the top priority for textile manufacturers worldwide, especially in Bangladesh where energy costs continue to rise. The biggest trend at this year's exhibition will be the widespread adoption of permanent magnet synchronous motor technology across all new circular knitting machines.
Traditional induction motors are being replaced by high-efficiency permanent magnet motors that can reduce power consumption by 30-40%. This technology is already being applied to dedusting systems, air supply systems and main drive systems.
Qattex offers a complete range of energy-saving spare parts to help you upgrade your existing machines without replacing the entire equipment:
Global demand for high-quality, lightweight knitted fabrics continues to grow, driving the rapid popularization of high-gauge circular knitting machines. At ITMA Asia 2026, 32G, 36G and even 40G fine gauge machines will be the main focus of exhibitors.
These high-precision machines require equally high-precision spare parts to ensure fabric quality and production stability. Even minor deviations in sinkers or needles can lead to serious fabric defects.
Qattex supplies a full range of high-precision fine gauge spare parts:
Intelligent manufacturing is transforming the textile industry. New generation circular knitting machines will feature advanced monitoring systems that can track production data in real time, predict equipment failures and automatically adjust production parameters.
Even for existing machines, intelligent upgrades can significantly improve production efficiency and reduce downtime. Automated lubrication systems, for example, can ensure consistent lubrication and extend equipment lifespan.
Qattex provides intelligent upgrade solutions for existing machines:
Environmental regulations are becoming increasingly strict worldwide, and textile manufacturers are under growing pressure to reduce emissions and waste. New knitting machine technologies will focus on reducing lint generation, improving dust collection efficiency and minimizing chemical usage.
Effective lint control not only improves working environment and reduces fire risks, but also significantly improves fabric quality and reduces production waste.
Qattex offers comprehensive lint control solutions:
To meet the diverse demands of the market, new circular knitting machines are becoming more versatile, capable of producing a wide range of fabric types with quick changeovers. This requires high-quality, interchangeable spare parts that can adapt to different production requirements.
