Technological innovation is the driving force behind high-quality development, and the exhibition bears the heavy responsibility of transforming the latest sewing machine research and development achievements into productive forces in downstream industries such as apparel. Since its transformation into an international exhibition in 1996, CISMA has consistently kept pace with industry developments over the past 30 years, guiding industry companies towards innovation and upgrading. Since 2013, each exhibition has consistently focused on automation and intelligence, showcasing the most advanced sewing technologies and cutting-edge sewing products, encompassing a wide range of product categories. CISMA is known as a bellwether for the global sewing machinery industry.
The theme of this year's exhibition is "Smart Sewing Empowers New-Quality Industrial Development."

Highlight 4: Four Exhibition Areas Showcasing High-Quality Products from the Entire Industry Chain
CISMA 2025 features four exhibition areas: Sewing Machines, Sewing and Integrated Equipment, Embroidery and Printing Equipment, and Functional Parts and Accessories. The actual number of booths allocated shows growth across all sectors compared to the previous edition. Embroidery machines and printing equipment are primarily located in Halls E4 and E5, with some embroidery auxiliary equipment also relocated to other halls. Functional parts and accessories, while occupying Halls E6 and E7, have also been partially relocated to other halls. The sewing machine area is entirely dedicated to raw space in Halls W1-W5, with the remainder expanded to Hall N1. Sewing and Integrated Equipment, in addition to Halls E1-E3, has expanded to 85% of Hall N2, with an additional 15% dedicated to public exhibition space. Overall, embroidery machines and sewing and integrated equipment are the two sectors experiencing the strongest growth.
Each exhibition area will focus on displaying complete machines, parts, electronic controls, pre- and post-sewing equipment, comprehensive equipment, embroidery machines and auxiliary products, covering new technologies and new application results of the entire sewing machine industry chain, including design and pattern making, pre-shrinkage and bonding, cutting and ironing, inspection and sorting, warehousing and logistics, printing and laser, etc., and rich exhibits suitable for various user fields.
Highlight 5: Hundreds of Thousands of Professional Visitors Attended
CISMA 2025 is the ideal window for international companies and professional visitors to fully connect with Chinese sewing companies, Chinese products, and the Chinese market. According to statistics from the organizer, the China Sewing Machinery Association, the last exhibition welcomed 47,104 professional visitors and a cumulative total of 87,114 visits. Of these, 5,880 were from overseas and Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. Statistics from 116 countries and regions show that visitors from the top 10 countries—India, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Russia—accounted for 62.32% of the total overseas visitor base.
In recent years, with the accelerated global transfer of the textile and apparel industry, demand for sewing equipment upgrades has accelerated in the regions receiving the transfer, significantly shifting the overseas market landscape and boosting demand for automated, intelligent, and skill-enhancing products. On the one hand, adverse factors such as regional wars, rising costs, increased tariffs, and a slowing global economic recovery have further exacerbated rising inflation and economic uncertainty, weakening consumer demand and investment confidence. Downstream consumers, who are hesitant and uncertain about the future, are increasingly seeking opportunities at the exhibition to broaden their horizons, reduce costs, increase efficiency, and expand cooperation.
Through the organizers' multifaceted efforts, this year's exhibition is expected to attract approximately 100,000 professional visitors. According to statistics, among the more than 1,500 exhibitors, over 200 are international brands. Nearly 1,200 overseas visitors have already registered in the visitor pre-registration system, which opened in March. This represents over 60% of the registered visitors. It is foreseeable that CISMA 2025 will welcome numerous visitors from home and abroad, creating a new peak in attendance.
Highlight 6: A Rich and Spectacular Exhibition Period
Making CISMA 2025 a success is a top priority among the China Sewing Machinery Association's ten key annual tasks. Regarding professional event planning, in addition to the CISMA 2025 themed demonstration product selection, organizers have meticulously organized a series of high-level forums, overseas dealer selection competitions, and product launches centered around the exhibition theme. Global industry experts and business leaders will be invited to discuss hot topics and share cutting-edge technologies and successful experiences.
The International Cooperation and Development Forum will bring together senior industry leaders from major global sewing machinery markets, along with veterans from upstream and downstream of the global supply chain, brand manufacturers, international dealer representatives, and industry elites. Through information exchange and discussion, they will share the current status of the industry in their respective countries, identify opportunities and challenges in the global market, and analyze the landscape and future trends of the global sewing machine industry.
