On 10-12 September, the textile world will gather for the 8th edition of Texhibition Istanbul Fabric, Yarn, and Textile Accessories Fair, organised by ITKIB Fairs Inc. on behalf of the Istanbul Textile Exporters’ Association (ITHIB). Texhibition has become a central hub of the global textile industry, combining production excellence, innovation and sustainability with an export-driven focus.
The September 2025 edition will host over 500 exhibitors across 40,000 sq. m, attracting more than 25,000 visitors from the EU, UK, USA, North Africa and the Middle East. This global reach makes the trade fair a gateway for companies aiming to expand into new markets and strengthen their international presence.
The show also highlights the industry’s growing focus on sustainability and innovation, from digital printing technologies to the use of recycled fibres and environmentally friendly production methods, underscoring Türkiye’s commitment to align with global trends.
Türkiye, the world’s fifth-largest textile exporter and second-largest supplier to the EU with an annual export of $11.5 billion, achieved approximately $27 billion in textile and apparel exports in 2024, underlining its significance in global trade.
Texhibition is designed to inspire and create business opportunities, presenting the entire textile value chain under one roof. The fair showcases a broad portfolio of products including woven, knitted, yarn, embroidery, printing, accessories, denim and artificial leather.
With its comprehensive offering, professionals from apparel production, retail, distribution and design gain direct access to high-quality suppliers and the innovations that are driving the industry forward.

Special zones within the show, such as the Trends Lab, Innovation Hub, ReValue Stock Hub and Blue Black Texhibition, offer visitors the latest trends, sustainable technologies and innovative design practices. Alongside the trend areas, seminars and panels will highlight sectoral innovation and future visions. While showcasing the strengths of traditional textiles, the show also attracts attention with pioneering solutions in the field of technical textiles.
