The Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI) is all set to host the much-anticipated 5th edition of the Fabrics Accessories & Beyond Show 2025 (FAB Show 2025) from April 21 to 23, 2025, at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai. This B2B event, which has quickly become India’s largest fabrics and accessories sourcing platform, promises to be an unparalleled display of the latest trends, innovations, and solutions for the country's thriving garment industry.

With over 250 exhibitors from fabric suppliers, accessories manufacturers, machinery suppliers, washing units, real estate developers, and software developers, the FAB Show will bring together the entire textile supply chain. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with industry leaders, explore cutting-edge innovations, and engage in fruitful discussions aimed at driving business growth.

The event is expected to attract approximately 12,000 trade visitors from over 320 cities across India, along with international buyers from countries such as Bangladesh, the US, Egypt, the UAE, Russia, Ecuador, and Sri Lanka, among others. With a focus on industry sectors like garment manufacturing, exports, retail, and e-commerce, the show provides a global platform for the exchange of ideas and sourcing partnerships.

Santosh Katariya, President of CMAI, emphasized the significance of the event, stating that the FAB Show is a critical platform for accessing the latest trends and innovations in fabrics, trimmings, and accessories. He added that the show focuses on helping manufacturers find high-quality, cost-effective suppliers, fostering strong sourcing relationships that contribute to operational success.

In line with the growing trend of eco-consciousness in India’s textile industry, the FAB Show will also include Knowledge Sessions and an exclusive Sustainability Pavilion, supported by the Centre for Environment Education (CEE) and the Global Alliance for Textile Sustainability Council (GATS). This initiative aims to raise awareness about sustainability and circularity, vital components of CMAI’s strategy to drive growth and responsibility in the garment industry.

Additionally, a dedicated Surat Pavilion will showcase more than 50 top fabric suppliers, organized by the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SGCCI), while manufacturers from Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra’s textile hub, will also have a presence at the event.

The FAB Show 2025 promises to be a landmark event for India’s textile and apparel industry, offering a unique opportunity to explore the future of fashion sourcing and sustainability.
