The textiles industry was among the worst affected during the global economic downturn in 2008, rendering textiles in majority of nations to be one of the most resilient sectors. The challenging market environment and economic conditions resulted in production cutbacks, layoffs and postponement of new investments. All these factors affected major textile machinery exporting countries such as China, Switzerland, Italy and Germany, and resulted in drastic declines in their export figures. Economic recovery in 2010 brought about a resurgence in the textile machinery industry as improving business climate and newer investments by major textiles players in emerging manufacturing destinations created fresh orders for the many textiles machinery manufacturers.
With further improvement in the economic condition across the world, many developing nations such as Turkey, India, China, Vietnam and Brazil became the new manufacturing hubs for the textiles industry. This shift in the manufacturing destination attracted attention of many European and other machinery companies such as Itema Group, Murata Machinery Ltd, Rieter AG, Savio Macchine Tessili SpA., Lonati SpA., Toyota Industry Corporation, Willi Grob AG, Mayer & Cie GmbH & Co.
