The 18th edition of the Bangladesh Denim Expo will take place on 12–13 May 2025 at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB), Dhaka.

The expo aimed to bring together denim enthusiasts, fashion experts and industry leaders to celebrate the art of denim-making.

With a strong focus on promoting sustainable practices, innovation and international collaboration, the two-day event has become a significant fixture on the global denim calendar.

According to a press release issued by the Bangladesh Apparel Exchange, across the two-day programme, visitors can attend two key panel discussions.

On May 12, panel discussion 1 will explore ‘The Growth of the Bangladesh Denim Industry, Through the Perspective of Denim Washing’, On May 13; panel discussion 2 will focus on ‘Stretch-ability of Bangladesh Denim Traceability’.

Exhibitors from 14 countries will showcase their products and innovations, highlighting Bangladesh’s increasing importance as a global denim manufacturing hub.

‘The Bangladesh Denim Expo not only showcasing local talent—it’s a hub for international collaborations. Global brands flock to the expo to partner with Bangladeshi & global manufacturers, creating a fusion of creativity and craftsmanship.
