The textile care industry is not immune to challenges such as labour shortages. Digital technologies are increasingly helping to compensate for this situation and optimise work processes. Automation is therefore one of the top themes at Germany’s Texcare International 2024. Other trends and themes at the leading trade fair for professional textile care are the circular economy and energy efficiency as well as hygiene.

The use of digital technologies simplifies work processes and makes them more transparent and cost-efficient. With their help, the flow of goods and data can be optimised and the interfaces to customers improved. Companies can thus track where their laundry is at any time and which processes are used to treat it. Smart solutions for the future will be presented at Texcare International. Furthermore, the shortage of personnel is currently one of the biggest challenges facing the industry. Through robotisation and artificial intelligence (AI), companies have the opportunity to compensate for staff shortages in skilled and unskilled labour, to make heavy work easier and to become more independent and efficient overall. Employees benefit from a higher quality of work and new opportunities for further training and education.

Innovations in textile hygiene—from disinfecting processes for textile cleaning, hygienic washing processes, and detergents and new aspects of documentation to antiviral finishing of textiles during the washing process—will be the focus of Texcare International 2024.

Messe Frankfurt is offering the industry further events for textile care in key economic regions around the world. In France, preparations for Texcare France (November 25–27, 2023) are currently in full swing. The next The Clean Show will take place from August 23–26, 2025 in Orlando in the US. From August 2–4, 2024, Texcare Asia & China Laundry Expo will be the industry meeting place for the dynamic Asian markets. And from November 21–23, 2024, Clean India Technology Week will take place in Mumbai.
