Intex Sri Lanka Colombo

Intex Sri Lanka – short for International Textile Expo Sri Lanka – is a globally oriented trade fair for textile and apparel sourcing, with a strong focus on the South Asian market. Since its inception in 2015, it has established itself as a key platform for innovation, commerce, and networking. Organized annually by Worldex India Exhibition & Promotion Pvt. Ltd., an experienced host of cross-industry trade events across Asia, the fair takes place at the prestigious Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH) in the heart of Colombo, Sri Lanka’s vibrant capital. Firmly rooted in the region, Intex Sri Lanka serves not only as a central meeting point for the industry but also as a vital economic hub for the South Asian textile sector.

The exhibition brings together decision-makers, manufacturers, traders, and technology providers from over 40 countries. It forms part of an established series of leading textile trade fairs across Asia, including successful editions in Bangladesh and India, creating a strong sourcing network across the region.

What sets Intex Sri Lanka apart is its clearly defined profile: the event combines a highly specialized product range with a hands-on platform for technological and creative innovation. Exhibits include fibers, yarns, apparel fabrics, denim products, textile accessories and finishes, dyes, and chemicals. The portfolio is further enhanced by digital solutions such as CAD/CAM software, ERP systems, AI-powered supply chain tools, and textile testing technologies. The presence of service providers in design, laboratory testing, and trend forecasting also makes the fair particularly attractive to brands, designers, and fashion institutes.

Exhibitors primarily represent the fields of textile manufacturing, machinery, chemicals, fashion accessories, and digital technologies. The fair targets trade visitors such as buyers, importers, manufacturers, designers, and brand owners seeking insights into sustainable materials, advanced processes like dope-dyed yarns, and current market trends. With its expansive B2B meeting lounge and a comprehensive seminar program featuring international keynote speakers, the fair functions as a key knowledge and networking hub for the industry.

Another distinctive feature of Intex Sri Lanka is its close connection to the host city, Colombo. As an emerging commercial center with growing relevance in global textile trade, Colombo offers an ideal setting for business collaboration – supported by modern trade fair infrastructure, international hotels, and cultural highlights within easy reach. The BMICH itself is an iconic venue, conveniently accessible by public transport and spacious enough to accommodate more than 2,500 exhibitors and around 55,000 visitors each year.

Intex Sri Lanka is more than just a trade fair – it is a carefully curated meeting place for all those shaping the textile future of South Asia.

Exhibitors and visitors meet for the 17th time on the Intex Sri Lanka on 3 days from Wed., 06.08.2025 to Fri., 08.08.2025 in Colombo.
