Texhibition Istanbul, the international trade fair for fabrics, yarns and textile accessories, will take place for the seventh time at the Istanbul Expo Center on 5-7 March 2025.

More than 25,000 trade visitors from over 125 countries are expected to attend, including representatives from the EU, the UK, the USA, North Africa and the Middle East.
Since its first edition in 2022, Texhibition Istanbul has established itself as a central meeting point for buyers and producers. The fair presents a wide range of products, including woven and knitted fabrics, yarns, denim, embroidery, prints and textile accessories. Complementing this offer is a new embroidery area.
Texhibition provides a platform for B2B meetings and specifically promotes networking between manufacturers and international buyers.
“Our textile and apparel sector is expected to close this year with a production volume of over US$ 80 billion,” says Ahmet Öksüz, president of the Istanbul Textile Exporters Association (ITHIB). “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.
“Texhibition has become an indispensable source of motivation and inspiration for our sector. We are proud that the fair has become the largest textile fair in Europe, with over 500 exhibitors and more than 25,000 international visitors. With Texhibition and the international trade fair participations we organise for our companies, we are very confident that we will achieve our export targets.”
