India Trend Fair 2025 in Tokyo Set to Strengthen India–Japan Textile Trade

India Trend Fair 2025 at Tokyo – a premier B2B exhibition showcasing high-quality Indian textiles and fashion products tailored for the Japanese market

In a strategic effort to boost textile exports and investment ties between India and Japan, the Japan India Industry Promotion Association (JIIPA) will host a high-level Indian delegation to Tokyo, led by Giriraj Singh, Minister of Textiles, Government of India. The centerpiece of this visit is the inauguration of India Trend Fair (ITF) 2025 on July 15 at Belle Salle Shibuya Garden, Tokyo.

The delegation aims to enhance India-Japan textile collaboration and increase India’s share in Japan’s textile imports, promote innovative, design-led Indian fashion tailored for the Japanese market, and foster long-term sourcing agreements and joint ventures in textile manufacturing.

Organized annually by JIIPA, in collaboration with the Ministry of Textiles (India), Embassy of India, Tokyo, and the Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC), the India Trend Fair has become a premier B2B textile and apparel trade exhibition focused on promoting Indian products tailored for the Japanese market.

India–Japan Textile Trade Landscape

Japan is one of the world’s largest importers of textile and apparel products, with imports exceeding USD 23 billion annually. Despite India’s status as one of the world’s leading textile producers, its share in the Japanese garment import market remains modest — accounting for just 1%, with USD 234.5 million in exports in 2024.

This gap represents a tremendous opportunity for growth through:

  • Diversification of sourcing
  • Demand for high-quality, ethically produced, and sustainable fashion
  • Rising interest in technical textiles and innovation-driven manufacturing

India is uniquely positioned to meet Japan’s sourcing standards with:

  • Competitive pricing
  • Strong design capabilities
  • Scalable production — from customized 200-piece lots to 300,000-piece mass orders
  • Compliance with Japanese quality and delivery norms

JIIPA’s Contribution to Strengthening Bilateral Trade

The Japan India Industry Promotion Association (JIIPA) plays a central role in bridging the textile industries of India and Japan through its proactive and consistent efforts:

Through consistent engagement, curated trade events, and targeted B2B facilitation, JIIPA continues to drive forward mutual growth and textile trade collaboration between India and Japan.

This strategic visit and the India Trend Fair 2025 aim to strengthen India-Japan textile trade partnerships, foster innovation, and enable long-term sourcing and investment collaborations.
