Texhibition Istanbul 2025: Global Textile Industry Showcase
Texhibition Istanbul Fabric, Yarn, and Textile Accessories Fair returns for its 8th edition from September 10–12, 2025 at the Istanbul Expo Center, organized by ITKIB Fairs Inc. on behalf of the Istanbul Textile Exporters’ Association (İTHİB). The event has become a central meeting point for the international textile industry, bringing together production excellence, innovation, sustainability, and export-driven growth.
The September 2025 edition will host over 500 exhibitors across 40,000 m², connecting Türkiye’s powerful textile industry with 25,000+ buyers from the EU, UK, US, North Africa, Middle East, and beyond. This wide-reaching platform offers companies the chance to expand into new markets, strengthen global partnerships, and explore cutting-edge textile innovations.
Türkiye, the world’s 5th-largest textile exporter and second-largest supplier to the EU, achieved $27 billion in textile and apparel exports in 2024, reaffirming its critical role in global trade. Strategically located between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, Türkiye offers shorter lead times, reliable supply chains, and faster response rates, giving brands a competitive edge.
Comprehensive Product Portfolio
Texhibition presents the entire textile value chain under one roof: woven & knitted fabrics, yarns, embroidery, printing, accessories, denim, and artificial leather. Market leaders such as Sanko, Kasar & Dual Textile, İSKUR Group, Küçükçalık Textile, Söktaş, Sasa, İpeker, and Antik Dantel will unveil their latest innovations.
Trend & Innovation Highlights
Special zones like the Trends Lab, Innovation Hub, ReValue Stock Hub, and Blue Black Texhibition make the event a center for creativity and future-oriented solutions.

A Must-Attend Event for Industry Leaders
Texhibition attracts decision-makers across the textile value chain – apparel producers, brand managers, retailers, e-commerce platforms, importers, wholesalers, designers, and influencers – creating a fertile ground for sourcing, networking, and collaboration.
Despite global headwinds, Türkiye’s textile and raw materials exports rose 1.2% YoY to $7.6 billion in the first eight months of 2025, with strong growth in Africa (+19.1%) and Asia (+26%).
Ahmet Öksüz, Chairman of İTHİB, stated:
“Texhibition Istanbul has rapidly developed into one of the most important global platforms for the textile industry. With every edition, we not only connect Türkiye’s strong and diverse manufacturers with international buyers, but also demonstrate how innovation, sustainability, and creative vision can shape the future of textiles. We are proud that Texhibition has become a driving force in global trade and will continue to play a leading role in guiding the international textile industry into its next chapter.”
