More than 25,000 trade visitors from over 125 countries, including significant delegations from the EU, the UK, the US, North Africa, and the Middle East are expected to attend the show.
Türkiye is one of the leading producers of textiles with a $30bn export value in 2024. Fabrics, yarns, and textile accessories contributed approximately $12bn to this value.
Despite global economic headwinds, Türkiye’s textile industry has remained robust due to demand for sustainably produced high-quality fabrics. Major markets include Germany, Spain, the UK, and the increasingly important US market.
İTHİB president Ahmet Öksüz said: “Our textile and apparel sector is expected to close this year with a production volume of over $80bn. There is a particular focus on the sustainability of our exports, which is an important pillar for the export business of our companies, and in which targeted investments are made.”
The fair will showcase an extensive array of products such as woven and knitted fabrics, yarns, denim, embroidery, prints, and textile accessories. A new addition to this year’s fair is the embroidery area.
