Texworld Evolution Paris and Apparel Sourcing Paris are collaborating to present a line-up with 1,260 companies participating in the two shows.

Texworld reports having 760 companies representing major sourcing countries including China, Korea, Turkey, India, and Taiwan.

Apparel Sourcing Paris, will host over 500 companies specialising in finished products, and feature a significant presence of European manufacturers.

Last year’s event saw a 40% exhibitor number increase with an expected 1300 participants. The anticipation was attributed to the very good results of the winter session and the desire of exhibitors to maintain close contact with the market.

This year’s edition reaffirms the role of international suppliers and European markets in the global fashion and apparel industry. As 2024 marks a crucial point for buyers developing their Spring-Summer 2025 collections.

Texworld Evolution Paris aims to provide visitors with insights into market developments and demand trends. The 2024 edition introduces trend areas for each show, featuring innovative samples closely following market trends.
