CISMA 2025 Smart Sewing Empowers New Quality Development Of The Industry

Recently, after deliberation by the President's Office of the China Sewing Machinery Association, the theme for CISMA 2025 has been determined as "Smart Sewing Empowers New Quality Development of the Industry" and officially released to the public.
CISMA serves as the bellwether and barometer for the industry's development, with its themes closely tied to industry trends over the years. Starting from CISMA 2013, the exhibitions began featuring automation and intelligentization of sewing machinery as the main direction. From the "Intelligent Solutions" of CISMA 2015 to the "Intelligent Sewing Technology Solutions" of CISMA 2017, and then the "Smart Sewing Factory Technology and Solutions" of CISMA 2019 to the "Intelligent Sewing Technology and Digital Integrated Solutions" of CISMA 2023, the themes of CISMA have kept pace with and delved deeper into the industry's development over the decade, reflecting the different stages of smart sewing's popularization, advancement, resource reallocation, cross-sector collaboration, and innovative upgrades within the industry. By 2025, the industry will undoubtedly ascend to a new level of "Smart Sewing Empowering New Quality Development of the Industry."

During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the industry's products accelerated their transformation towards modularization and intelligentization. The development and application of internet and IoT technologies deepened further, while the sewing cloud platform entered industrialized development and application, laying a solid foundation for the sewing industry chain to move into industrialized development and application of intelligent factories. An increasing number of Chinese sewing enterprises have locked onto the brand-new strategic direction of intelligent factory industrialization, making inroads into digitalization and intelligentization from the perspectives of indigenous development and product supply, achieving interim results. From supporting the implementation of digital production at the intelligent manufacturing plant of Rhinoarmor, to gradually meeting the diverse requirements of global sewing industry downstream users in textile and apparel, aerospace, automotive interiors, footwear and bags, and home textiles for different categories and levels of digital and smart factories, enterprises across the industry have deepened effective supply-side reforms to meet higher-level market demands, providing overall smart sewing factory solutions featuring high-tech added value, advanced technology integration and application, and integration of digital and intelligent equipment.

Entering the 14th Five-Year Plan period and aligning with national macro policies, the association released its technology roadmap for the 14th Five-Year Plan, providing more detailed guidance to enterprises across the industry on the key areas for intelligent manufacturing applications in sewing equipment: "Covering sub-fields before, during and after sewing to meet the specific sewing needs of different industries; a proportion of intelligent products no less than 20%; completing the development of over 10 intelligent sewing production lines applied in specialized fields such as apparel, home textiles, footwear, automotive interiors, etc.; digital technology consulting services (remote maintenance, data processing, etc.) accounting for over 5% of the industry's total output value." With this as the target, companies across the industry have responded precisely, adjusting to meet the demands of downstream industries, driving the transformation of downstream industries through reforms in the sewing sector. The China Smart Sewing Factory Technology Service Alliance initiated and led by the association through integrating resources has brought together advantages inside and outside the industry, conducting dedicated evaluations of integrated smart sewing capabilities for downstream industries and organizing specialized digital technology exchanges between industries, demonstrating an important exemplary effect. Chinese sewing machinery is playing an increasingly dominant role in the industrialized implementation of digital factories and smart factories along the "Rooted in China, Globalized Reach" industrial chain, occupying an important position in the front-running field of smart sewing, while also sparing no effort in promoting high-quality development of the industry.
