Texcare Asia & China Laundry Expo 2024 presents smart, automated and customised washing solutions this week

29 Jul 2024

Shanghai, 29 July 2024. The leading laundry and textile care exhibition in Asia is set to return to the Shanghai New International Expo Centre from 2 – 4 August 2024, showcasing the latest innovations and industry trends in the world of laundry and textile care. Across 23,000 sqm of the show floor, 289 exhibitors from 14 countries and regions, including China, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands and the USA will be in attendance, catering to an expected over 20,000 trade visitors.

Texcare Asia & China Laundry Expo 2024 (TXCA & CLE) will highlight several key industry trends. These include the growing importance of digital management and information security, a surge in rental service providers, as well as the increasing adoption of intelligent, automated, and customised washing equipment. The rapid adoption of AI technology starting late last year across all sectors has brought new opportunities and challenges to the washing industry, with potential gains in increased efficiency, cost savings, personalisation, sustainability and predictive maintenance.  There is also an increasing demand for laundry equipment and services in general, where for example China alone has seen the installation of 293 new continuous tunnel washer systems in 2023, continuing an upward trend for the past nine years.  

Visitors can look forward to engaging with these trends at the show, which is hosting a diverse array of renowned domestic and international exhibitors showcasing their latest innovations in the commercial washing sector. Big names include Bowe, Chuandao, Ecolab, Eliza, Girbau, Haier, Hoop, Oasis, Sankosha, Sea-Lion, Unisec, Weishi and many more. At the same time, exhibitors from the rental laundry services sector have reached a new high, especially in the rental software and medical textile sectors. Exhibitors in this category include Datamars, Finove, Huayuan, KAGA FEI, Kiosoft, NIUZHANGGUI, PORRAY, SENPU XUNJIE, Spotag, Tengyu Weaving, Thermopatch, and YALAN.

In addition to the variety of international and domestic exhibitors participating this year, the show also enjoys strong support from local and overseas laundry associations and visiting groups which attracts many quality buyers. This year’s show features industry associations and professional buyers from all over the world, including China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, and more.
