Many reported strong on-site inquiries, promising follow-up meetings and potential order placements, particularly for cutting, sewing, finishing, printing, embroidery, washing and energy-efficient machinery. Several overseas technology providers noted that Bangladeshi manufacturers are increasingly focused on productivity improvement, cost optimization and compliance-driven investments.
Industry participants highlighted that GTB 2026 successfully showcased next-generation garment manufacturing technologies, including smart factory solutions, automation, AI-enabled systems and sustainability-focused innovations, aligning with Bangladesh’s ongoing transition toward higher value-added and environmentally responsible apparel production.
A number of exhibitors also praised the professional organization, venue management and concurrent events, noting that the co-location with GAPEXPO enhanced buyer traffic and cross-sector engagement.
With its successful completion, GTB 2026 has once again reinforced its position as a key technology and business platform for Bangladesh’s RMG industry, facilitating knowledge exchange, technology transfer and international collaboration.
