OSAKA, Japan – Manufacturing World Osaka 2025, set for October 1-3 at INTEX Osaka with 1,100 exhibitors and an expected 33,000 visitors, is poised to become Western Japan's paramount manufacturing trade event following the tremendous success of Manufacturing World Tokyo 2025, which drew 55,749 industry professionals.

Manufacturing World Osaka enters its 28th year renowned for attracting the industry's largest concentration of machine parts suppliers with exceptional technical expertise in processing technology. The 2025 edition features expanded smart maintenance and digital transformation solution areas that consistently draw high-value visitors from key industries—creating valuable networking opportunities between established parts suppliers and the forward-thinking manufacturers they seek to serve.

Strategic Location Drives Industry Participation

Osaka's unique positioning as Western Japan's manufacturing hub continues to attract major industry players. The city and surrounding region host one of the highest concentrations of manufacturing facilities in Japan, including headquarters and production sites of global leaders such as Panasonic, Daikin, Kubota, Komatsu, Daihatsu Motor, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

“Osaka has long been recognized as a key economic hub in Japan, with a rich history in commerce and industry. ," said Bunta Koyasu, Show Director of Manufacturing World. "What makes this particularly compelling for international exhibitors is the sheer concentration of decision-makers - you have manufacturing leaders from Panasonic, Daikin, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries all within the same region. This creates extraordinary opportunities for face-to-face meetings that simply cannot be replicated elsewhere in Japan."

Distinct Regional Focus Attracts Targeted Audience

Market analysis reveals that 80% of Manufacturing World Osaka visitors originate from Western Japan, creating a distinct attendee profile compared to Tokyo-based manufacturing events. The three-hour Shinkansen journey between Japan's two major cities naturally segments the market, allowing exhibitors to access manufacturing professionals who typically do not attend Eastern Japan exhibitions.

This geographical distribution spans multiple industrial sectors, with visitors representing design and development teams, R&D departments, production engineering, global procurement, quality control, and senior management from both established manufacturers and trading companies.

Comprehensive Support Programme Enhances Exhibitor Success

Manufacturing World Osaka 2025 continues its commitment to exhibitor success through its dedicated Exhibitor Success Team programme. The initiative provides complimentary consulting services during the preparation period, including strategic marketing materials, online seminars, and personalised guidance to maximise exhibition outcomes.

The programme has demonstrated measurable results in previous editions, with participating exhibitors reporting higher lead generation and improved return on investment compared to traditional trade show participation models.

Industry Growth Drives Participation

The Japanese manufacturing sector's continued expansion in electronics, heavy industry, construction machinery, and automotive manufacturing has created increased demand for innovative solutions and technologies. The October timing aligns strategically with annual planning cycles, when companies actively evaluate new suppliers and technologies for the following year.

Registration Opens for International Exhibitors

With prime exhibition space filling rapidly due to strong domestic and international interest, early registration is recommended for optimal positioning. The exhibition organisers report increased enquiries from global manufacturers seeking to establish or expand their presence in the Japanese market.

Don't let another year pass watching competitors build relationships with Japanese manufacturers.
